    They were awesome to hear in person!

    Too bad the man behind bringing the 333SP to US race tracks passed away last month. RIP Gianpiero Moretti (founder of MOMO).

    I know many people remember seeing the 333SP race but how many of you remember the FUDD?



    I have some photos of this car I took at Watkins Glen a few years ago. I think it sounded a bit more fearsome than the regular 333SP.

    Interesting perspective looking at those acceleration figures....granted testing a racecar probably more as a novelty than typical car test, those figures are quite achievable in today's supercar...or even less than supercar looking at the 3.6 sec 0-60(TT-RS anyone?), on street tire no less...

    No supercar today can achieve those figures for 24 solid hours of racing. The 333SP is a purpose built race car built to withstand all the punishment that racing puts on to a vehicle.
