That's Ronnie Bucknum driving without the back half of the Ferrari 512's body panel. It obviously came off somewhere on the track. Fortunately they were able to replace it and the car finished second in the 1971 24 Hours of Daytona. Ronnie's co-driver was Tony Adamowicz. Behind the 512 is the 312P/71 of Nestor Garcia-Veiga and Luigi Chinetti, Jr. They finished 5th. This was the last year for the big 512's and Porsche 917's. It was also the end of the Golden Age of Sports Car Racing.
