Tamiya 20045 Ferrari F310B

The Ferrari F310 is an Italian Formula 1 car that was presented in the 1996 season and competed in F1 races only in the period 1996-1997. Its designer was John Barnard. The Ferrari 312 was powered by a single 10-cylinder Tipo046 or Tipo046 / 2 engine with a displacement of 3 liters.

The Ferrari F310 was developed to replace the Ferrari 412 T2 car. Compared to its predecessor, it differed primarily in the use of a completely different drive unit and the use of carbon fiber materials on a larger scale, which reduced the weight of the vehicle and improved its durability. In 1997, the Ferrari F310B model was presented, with a new gearbox and a slightly modified engine. The models of this car were undoubtedly very fast, but also proved to be highly unreliable initially. Only after eliminating these "childhood diseases" the Ferrari F310 car turned out to be a successful design, which allowed to win in F1 races. Ferrari F310 vehicles took part in 33 Grand Prix races - in eight of them they won. The most famous drivers who drove the Ferrari F310 were: Eddie Irvine and Michael Schumacher.
