The Tamiya Ferrari 312T3 RC model is based upon the 1978 model F1 racer
driven by Gilles Villeneuve and Carlos Reuteman.

The 312T3
was introduced for 1978 for Villeneuve and Reutemann. It was much cleaner
aerodynamically, and the flat 12 engine was tuned to give around 515bhp. |

A switch to
Michelin tyres meant a redesign of the suspension was necessary. All the
hard work came to nothing though as the pioneering Lotus 79 ground effect
"wing car" took on and beat all comers with ease that season,
and Ferrari were left to pick up the pieces of any Lotus failures. |

Reutemann
won 4 races, whilst Villeneuve won for the first time at the final race,
his home race in Canada, but it was more a season of consolidation. |

Reutemann
moved to Lotus for 1979, replaced by Jody Scheckter. Ferrari was only 3rd
in the Constructors Championship.
