Unfortunately, I hate to burst your guys bubbles, that was not a Ferrari, not even close. Do I know what It was, no cause I couldnt see the front, but history shows us Ferrari made the 312PB and ran them between 71-73. they didnt make another prototype till the 333SP in the early 90's.
As for the defect behind the wheel, when talking to a couple crew members form a very prestigious museum, they brought up a good point when I was talkign to them about how they would do with their Corvette Grand Sport against some Jaguars. The Jags had updated suspension, and are worth around 150,000. To us that sounds alot, but the GS is estimated around 8.5million!! so the question is, would you haul ass around a track in a rare multimillion dollar car, tryign to win the race that means nothing but braggin rights, and having a good chance of crashing it? me? no I would go out there to have hot laps, exhibition laps, but leave the real racing to the guys with the lesser valued cars. You could take a Mustang and make it to that years specs, and be able to enter it into vintage events, so not all the cars out there have history, some of them are recently built.

I admit I couldn't tell you a ferrari from a prototype from a porsche or whatever. I would guess there were multiple classes on track at the same time? Would I even race an $8.5 million car? Not unless it was on a track I had rented for that sole purpose with other people of equal valued cars.
What was funny to me, was from the incar video you couldn't get an idea of how preppared the challenger was, so I was expecting an SCCA Trans-AM type build circa 1969-1970, then I went to the guys website and was like WOW, no wonder he blew by the mustang and left the prototype in another time zone. That's just awesome stuff.
