156 F2
The 156 F2’s maiden appearance at a grand prix at the Solitude road circuit outside Stuttgart. And what a debut it was: Wolfgang Von Trips managed to hold sway over no less than four Porches and three Lotuses, boosting Ferrari’s hopes for the following year’s Championship in which the F1 version did indeed triumph.
