D50 by Ludvigsen
The D50, Lancia’s Formula One car of the mid-1950’s, was much admired at the time. It had a mixed career – great promise, some successes, some failures. Given over to Ferrari in 1955, it was then modified and turned into a championship car over the next two seasons.
Most of our information comes from the Lancia histories (Trow and de Weerninck) or from Chris Nixon’s recent book, “Rivals….” on the D50 and Mercedes W196.
back to the original design of the car. He concludes that it is impressive an F1 car first designed in 1953 is still relevant in 1957.
