Lancia Rally 037 - F&M Special

.:: "F&M SPECIAL": Details of a masterpiece ::.

A dream that come true. Here as CLAUDIO MAGLIOLI defines his creature. To be able to drive a special car in a special race, as for instance the Targa FLORIO or the 1000 Km of NURBURGRING, we think it's a desire of so many drivers. Maglioli made it and he wasn't the only one. Other champions as MAKINEN, PINTO and MUNARI have been able to test the unbelievable dowries of lightness, power and manageability of the "F&M special", a car unique in its kind. And it has been really the "Drake" the best actor of this prototype, defining it easy to drive, a little bit oversteering despite of the anterior traction and with a natural behavior in curve thanks to the low barycentre. With the "F&M" it was easy to go to the limit, more than with the FULVIA HF. With the carrying out of this car MAGLIOLI showed that with a limited budget and a lot of inventiveness and ability it is possible to build a winning race car.
