# Ferrari 512 BB LM N.A.R.T. No. 68 Tullius Delaunay Bedard 24h Daytona 1979 Tecnomodel 1:18

> A 1:18 scale model car of the N.A.R.T. Ferrari 512 BB LM No. 68 that competed at Daytona in February 1979, rendered in resin by Tecnomodel with the team's red and blue livery.

The Ferrari 512 BB LM occupied a specific and short-lived chapter in Ferrari's endurance racing history: a competition derivative produced between 1978 and 1981. This 1:18 resin model by Tecnomodel captures the North American Racing Team's entry at the February 1979 24 Hours of Daytona, carrying race number 68 and the team's characteristic red and blue colours.

## Ferrari 512 BB LM: Flat-12 Competition Machine

Developed from the 512 BB road car, the LM variant received a comprehensive set of race-specific modifications: longer tail bodywork, revised aerodynamics, dry-sump lubrication and a fuel cell engineered to satisfy Le Mans technical regulations. The engine was a flat-12 in horizontally opposed configuration. The 512 BB LM remained a rare presence in period endurance grids.

## Luigi Chinetti's Team at Daytona, February 1979

The North American Racing Team was founded by Luigi Chinetti, Ferrari's long-standing US importer and a three-time Le Mans winner, making it the most historically significant Ferrari privateer operation in North America. The No. 68 car was shared by Bob Tullius, Jean-Pierre Delaunay, and Pat Bedard. The crew reflected the genuinely international character of late-1970s endurance racing, pairing American and European talent under one of Ferrari's most storied racing banners. The livery's red and blue scheme was consistent with N.A.R.T.'s American-entered Ferrari tradition.

## The Tecnomodel 1:18 Resin Model

The material choice — resin rather than diecast — allows finer surface detail and more precise reproduction of period bodywork geometry. This release represents the No. 68 N.A.R.T. entry at the 1979 24 Hours of Daytona, documenting a specific livery variant within the 512 BB LM range.
