Driving to Riches. You name it, Mario drives it: Indianapolis cars, stock cars, sports cars, sprint cars. He did have to say no to Enzo Ferrari, who begged Mario to drive for him on the Grand Prix circuit; the Grand Prix races conflicted with Andretti's previous engagements, and besides, Ferrari doesn't pay enough. "Anybody who can drive and doesn't come out of it a rich man is a fool," says Andretti...
...steel. The rods were power output shafts for the transmissions of six 490-h.p. Mark II racers that Ford had entered in the season's first big sports-car race-with high hopes of retaining the world manufacturers' championship it had wrested away from Italy's Enzo Ferrari last year with victories at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans.

Italy's Enzo Ferrari, whose high-whining, finely tuned cars had dominated Sebring for a decade, winning seven times in all, was so pessimistic about his chances of stopping Ford's "steamroller" this year that he bothered to enter only one prototype in the race. Of course, the new Ferrari 330 P3 was quite a car: developed specifically to compete with Ford, it harbors beneath its streamlined, electric-red shell...
