Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0L V12 #17 1961 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0L V12 #17 1961 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by WERK 83.
The Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0L V12 Spider No. 17, entered by N.A.R.T. (North American Racing Team), made history at the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans with brothers Pedro and Ricardo Rodríguez at the wheel. Pedro, already a rising star, and Ricardo—just 19 years old, making him one of the youngest drivers ever to compete at Le Mans—delivered a sensational drive to finish second overall, a remarkable achievement against factory-backed Ferrari entries. What set this race apart was not only Ferrari’s crushing dominance of the event, but also the symbolic importance of the Rodríguez brothers’ performance, announcing the arrival of Mexican drivers on the world endurance stage. The result became one of Le Mans’ most celebrated family achievements and a defining moment in the legacy of both NART and Ferrari’s front-engined Testa Rossa era.
