The Ferrari F50 GT (also known as the Ferrari F50 GT1) is a racing derivative of the Ferrari F50, intended to compete in the BPR Global GT Series against other series rivals, such as the McLaren F1 GTR.[3] After the series folded, Ferrari was unhappy with homologation specials such as the Porsche 911 GT1 being allowed in the newly formed FIA GT Championship and decided to cancel the project due to lack of funding to compete.[4] The car was co-developed with Dallara and Michelotto.
