312T3, Carlos Reutemann, Monaco 1978 (Fabbri)
Ferrari’s winning streak came to an end in 1978, a season in which Lotus dominated the Championships. Former Ferrari driver Mario Andretti won the World title with Reutemann ranked third, the latter winning three races (Great Britain and two in the USA). Villeneuve showed just how talented he was with a win in Canada. He was also a familiar face at the front of the pack in other races although his acrobatic driving style sometimes landed him off the track. Unfortunately, the Championship was hit by tragedy when Ronnie Peterson was killed in an accident at the start of racing at Monza.
The 312 T3 continued the evolution of the T series with an engine with 12 horizontally opposed cylinders, that was continually updated and pumped up. At Ferrari the question of when to abandon the normally aspirated engine in favour of the turbo, as required by the rules, was also posed, but the changeover was put off. All efforts instead were poured into continuing the development of the car with the Michelin tyres plus new aerodynamics in the form of a very wide body that extended right to the mid-line of the rear wheels, and new cooling and fuel ducts. The 312 T3 was only used from the South African GP onwards i.e. the third race in the 1978 World Championship as the first two (the Argentinean and Brazilian GPs) were raced using a modified version of the 1977 312 T2.

А вот и четвертый экспонат 312 Т3, Carlos Reutemann, с которым вышел некоторый конфуз.
Когда-то давно с кем-то из коллег, обсуждая эту модель производства Фаббри и находясь в поиске привязки данной модели к какому-то этапу, вроде определились и обозвали её, как Гран При Бразилии 1978 года.
Буквально вчера, перепроверяя информацию, обнаружил, что на Гран При Бразилии модель Т3 вообще не принимала участия, а дебютировала только на Гран При ЮАР (третьем Гран При сезона 1979).
В итоге на сегодня модель вновь оказалась без привязки, что несколько меня огорчило и может быть с чьей то помощью удасться найти истину в этом вопросе.
Учитывая ,что Фаббришная,это передёр с Кварцо,то скорее всего это Монако...
Второй вариант Т3 от Кварцо (на США Вест) отличается вогнутой пластиной заднего антикрыла....
