Crofty alluded to it during today's commentary, but although
tomorrow should be the Scuderia's 1,000th GP start, it's actually
their 1,001st Championship start.
In 1952 between the Swiss & Belgian GPs they entered a 'Ferrari
special' in round 2 of the WDC, the Indy 500.
Car #12 was entered by Enzo Ferrari and driven by Albert Ascari. It was
a 375 with a 4.5L V12. It qualified 19th/row 7, but lost a wheel after
40 laps, classified 31st.
