History
Ferrari did not enter the 1968 season in the three-litre group. For 1969 it ran three cars with an engine similar to its single-seater engine, set up for endurance races, and the cars were later handed over to Chinetti.
At the 1969 Spa 1000 Kilometres, Ferrari 312 P #0870 finished second overall, driven by Pedro Rodriguez and David Piper.
