When the new 1.5-liter engines were introduced in Formula 1 in 1961, Ferrari went through one of the most glorious moments of that era, making the Drivers' title his own with the American Phil Hill and at the same time the one reserved for the Manufacturers. Yet in the next two seasons the Maranello cars did not manage to stand up to competition from BRM and Lotus. In a span of two years the Maranello company achieved only one victory with John Surtees, who in 1963 won the Nürburgring circuit. In that same year the 156 "aero" was brought to the debut in the Monza race, which was nothing but a prototype of the Ferrari 158, then built by the engineer Mauro Forghieri to better host the new V8 90 ° engine of 1489, 23 cm³. The debut of the Ferrari 158, in the Syracuse Grand Prix of '64 not valid for the world championship, gave a first and second place, respectively with Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini. With this car the Englishman then conquered two other successes in that same year, in the Grand Prix of Germany and Italy. This earned him however the title for a single point of advantage over Graham Hill and eight against Jim Clark and Ferrari the success between the brands. The latest events in the United States and Mexico are decisive, where the Maranello car sports an unusual blue and white livery under the colours of the North American Racing Team. A decision that Ferrari took in protest against the Italian federation for the problems it had with the homologation of the 250 LM.
Brumm was founded by Reno Tattarletti, former Rio sales director, with Emilio Molteni and Virginio Bianchi in Como, in 1972. The company name comes from a model of carriage (from "Brougham") widely used in Milan in Nineteenth century. Brumm originally made 1:43 scale models of horse-drawn carriages. In the mid-1970s, steam-powered vehicle models went into production, and in 1977, classic car models. Car models, mostly sports and racing cars, along with some small Fiats, soon became the company's most important and successful product line. Since the mid-1980s Brumm has regularly produced limited edition models in special and promotional liveries. Proudly continuing to produce in Italy, Brumm is today very active, with a very rich catalog that offers updated variants of already known moulds. Completely new molds are nowadays rare, such as the Fiat Panda II Series, which was long overdue.
