At the end of the
Racing history
Lorenzo Bandini used the 246T for the first two races in 1966. His best result was second place and fastest lap at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix, followed by third place in Belgium. The car was then put aside until the German Grand Prix, where it was a third team entry driven by Ludovico Scarfiotti. Scarfiotti out-qualified his teammates in their more powerful 3-litre cars, but retired with electrical problems. The final outing for the 246T was the 1966 Italian Grand Prix, lent by Ferrari to Reg Parnell Racing and driven by Giancarlo Baghetti. Baghetti was running as high as fifth until he had problems with his throttle linkage and eventually finished last, nine laps in arrears.
