Vandaag binnen gekregen via een goede Belgische Forumvriend die vele Le Mans modellen bezit
De Ferrari F333 SP zoals eerder beschreven.....
Stond ingeschreven op Le Mans met de namen Sigala/Arnoux/Cochran.
Op het model staan 4 namen beschreven. De vierde naam is die van Ex F1 rijder Fabrizio Barbazza....Vreemd
staat echter niet op het Spark plateautje en in de Le mans historie over het model. Maar daar kom ik wel achter
Ben er achtergekomen:
Barbazza reed de gele F333SP in 1995 tijdens de IMSA Series:
Ironically, and sadly, it was a horrific accident that curtailed his own racing career. In 1995, Barbazza had gone to the IMSA series in America, driving a Ferrari 333SP for the Euromotorsports team. At the Daytona 24hr classic in the car shared with Massimo Sigala, Gianfranco Brancatelli and Elton Julian, he had come 8th overall, and a superb 2nd in their class. But at Sebring they came 7th in their class, and a lowly 22nd overall.
Before his accident, Barbazza was enjoying a relatively successful stint in the Euromotorsports Ferrari. He he is on his way to at 7th place class finish at Sebring.

But his next entry would be his last. Joining Jay Cochran at Road Atlanta on 30 April that year, he spun to avoid two other spinning Porsches, but his car lay across the track and was smashed from side-on by Jeremy Dale's Oldsmobile at more than 100 mph. Barbazza's car split into two, and he sustained head injuries, a collapsed lung, a broken arm and leg, and went into a sedative-induced coma.
It took Fabrizio a year to recover from his injuries, and after that he announced his retirement from racing to concentrate on his barrier designs. However, he has not been forgotten by race fans, especially in America. In the 1999 Road Atlanta round of the Women's Global GT series, Kiki Wolfkill's car even carried a sticker saying 'Racing for Fabrizio' in Barbazza's honour
De geschiedenis van een bepaald model is niet altijd leuk
