Ferguson P99

The Ferguson P99 was a front-engine four-wheel drive Grand Prix car built by Ferguson Research Ltd. which was raced by the Rob Walker Racing Team on behalf of the company in 1961. Officially named as Ferguson Climax, it derived its P99 name from its Harry Ferguson Research project number. F1 used 2.5-litre engines up to 1960, and only 1.5-litre from 1961, and Coventry Climax provided 4-cylinder-engines of each size. It remains the most famous example of its type as a result of its twin claims to fame: the Non-championship race victory by Stirling Moss in September 1961 International Gold Cup on a wet Oulton Park track was both the first AWD car to win a Formula 1 event, and the last front-engined car to win a Formula 1 event.
