After a year off, Ferrari returned to endurance racing in 1969 with a 3-liter V12 engine prototype. The car, signed 312P, took up the lines already tested the previous year on the 612 Can-Am. The 312P raced in the spyder version all season, achieving fourth place at Brands Hatch as the best result. The berlinetta configuration was deployed only at Le Mans. A new rule change for 1970 put an end to the short official career, which continued with the NART team in the following years.
