Great Read: Jochen Mass – The worst car I ever drove – ATS HS1 |
November 1999 | Adam Cooper |
The great Jochen Mass was born on this day in 1946. His F1 stock was still rising when the chance came to drive for a German team. It was not, he told Adam Cooper, a wise choice

Ferrari F40 in its purest form is set for auction |

Being an early car, it hasn't the adjustable suspension and catalytic converters of later F40s. Without them it is that pure, analogue, performance-focused machine Enzo Ferrari himself envisioned; a fitting tribute to his earliest car, forged in the heat of motorsport.
