Luigi Fagioli (I) |
|
* 9 Jun 1898
† 20 Jun 1952
|
Osimo, Ancona
Monte Carlo |
|---|
|
Fagioli's family had a substantial interest in a pasta-making factory in Osimo near Ancona (Marche region). This allowed him to run
the typical life of a well-to-do bourgeois of bygone provincial Italy: shooting, hunting birds and boars and racing cars.
He went to a high school which gave him a low-rank accountant degree.
The hot tempered, cocky Fagioli was a fast driver whose aggressive style on and off the track was probably more appriciated by the
spectators than by teammanagers and competitiors.
Fagioli took up racing as a hobby in 1926 with a 1.1L Salmson but the breakthrough came in 1930 when
he signed on as works driver for Maserati. He won the minor Coppa Principe de Piemonte and then the Coppa Ciano and followed it up with a
victory at the Coppa Castelle Romani. Next year he was 2nd at Monaco and Tunis and won the Monza GP. In 1932 he won the Rome GP and was 2nd at
the Italian, Czech and Monza GPs. In 1933 Fagioli raced for Scuderia Ferrari and scored a series of fine results: 1st Coppa Acerbo, 1st Comminges GP,
2nd Marseille, 1 Italian GP, 2nd Czech GP and 2nd Spanish GP. For 1934 Fagioli signed on for Mercedes-Benz and remained there for three colorful
years, often having clashes with Neubauer and Caracciola regarding team orders and equal treatment. He had 3 victories both in 1934 and 1935
but 1936 proved to be a catastrophe. The car was problematic and Fagioli suffered from rheumatism. He signed on for Auto Union for 1937.
The bad feelings against Caracciola surfaced at the 1937 Tripoli GP where after the race, at least according to Neubauer, Fagioli attacked
Caracciola with a wheel hammer. The rheumatism got worse and Fagioli was a non starter in several races,
he used to wear a large girdle on top of his overalls.
Finally he was forced to walk with a aid of a stick and retired from racing. Fagoli made a comeback in 1950 joining Fangio and Farina as on of the three "F"s in the victorious Alfa Romeo
team. he took 4 second places in the World Championship races that year. In 1951 he won the French GP together with Fangio becoming the oldest
F1 winner ever. All together he did 7 championship starts and collected 32 points. In 1952 he took 3rd place at the Mille Miglia in a Lancia Aurela
beating the 300SL of arch rival Caracciola. During practice for the Monaco sports car race Fagioli crashed his Lancia in the tunnel braking an arm
and a leg. First it seemed he would be ok but three weeks after the accident things got worse and Fagioli died at a Monaco hospital.
The nickname "Abbruzzi robber" remains a bit of mystery.
The sentence has very little meaning in Italian and Fagioli had nothing to do with the Abruzzi region. Just as with
Bonetto the nickname is impossible to find in contemporary Italian sources but it possibly has to do with Nuvolari being "robbed"
of a victory back in 1933.

We are not 100% sure of the identification of the pseudonym "Fani", but he was possibly Hans von Wedelstaedt, son of an army officer, who studied law at the
Rostock university in 1924, owned property in Silesia and during WW2 was a member of a Panzer tank division. He married Ilse Pioletti in
Berlin on 2nd May 1935 and they had two sons in 1936 and 1938.

Dr. Giuseppe "Nino" Farina (I) |
|
* 30 Oct 1906
† 30 Jun 1966
|
Torino (Turin)
Aiguebelle, Savoie, France |
|---|
|
Son of the oldest of the brothers who founded the "Pininfarina" coachbuilding company.
He became doctor of political science (some sources say engineering) and he also excelled in sports like
riding, skiing, athletics, football and cycling.
He started off with an old Alfa Romeo but crashed hard in his first race. He then cut short a career as cavalry
officer in order to concentrate on motor racing and in 1933 he made a comeback, racing Maseratis and Alfas
for Gino Rovere as a privateer before joining Scuderia Ferrari for the 1936 season.
With Nuvolari as tutor Farina's career soon took on speed, his greatest achievement being a victory at the Naples
GP in 1937. When Alfa Corse returned to racing in 1938 Farina became their head driver. Farina became Italian
Champion in 1937, 1938 and 1939. After the war he rejoined Alfa Romeo but left the team after the 1946 season
because of a disagreement over team leadership. He raced private Maseratis and works Ferraris in 1948-49
and then returned to Alfa once more to become the first Formula 1 world champion in 1950. In 1952-55 he raced Ferraris
before retiring from GP racing. He made plans to race at Indy 500 in 1956 & 1957 but they came to nothing.
After that Farina worked as an agent for Jaguar and Alfa Romeo and also became involved with Pininfarina.
But on his way to the 1966 French GP he lost control of his Lotus-Cortina near Aiguebelle in the Savoy Alps, crashing fatally against
a telegraph pole. Farina's racing style with extended arms and the head held back became a norm for the post war generation
of GP drivers as the ultimate smoothness and precision, but Farina actually was a driver who crashed quite often. At his peak
howewer he was a fast and stylish driver and that he is less known than some other World Champions has much to do with the
fact that Farina hated any kind of publicity.

Veteran motorcycle racer from Milan who had a distinguished career with Motosacoche bikes. Founder in 1904 of the Moto Club Milano. Of the four Bugattis that opened the finishing order at
the 1926 Monza GP, Farinotti's was third, behind Costantini and Goux, but ahead of Chiron's and Brilli-Peri! His motor racing career was cut short shortly afterwards by a bad accident at the
Circuito Ligure-Piemontese in which his mechanic, the well-known Fugazza, lost his life.

Gerolamo Ferrari (I) |
|
From Camogli province of Genova (Genoa). . A large number of amateur Grand Prix and voiturette drivers from the Genoa area are found in the period between the wars, a phenomenon well
testified by these records. It very likely reflects the diffused wealth of a city that still was the largest port in the Mediterranean and one of the three main industrial centres in
the Country (the "industrial triangle" with Torino and Milan). Girolamo Ferrari was one of these. After an isolated participation at the wheel of a Lombard in 1929, he debuted at the
10 hour-long Italian Gran Prix of 1931 at the wheel of a former Scuderia Materassi 1927 Grand Prix Talbot sharing the drive with Di Vecchio. He then showed some quality as a racing
driver by placing in second position at two of the main 1100cc races of 1931, those at Livorno and Pescara, at the wheel of a special "Talbot" with engine built by spares in the
Scuderia Materassi workshop on a Bugatti chassis. He sat out for 1932, but drove a T51 Bugatti and an Alfa Monza of the ephemeral Scuderia Capredoni in 1933. Gerolamo Ferrari ceased
racing after his crash in the first race at wheel of the BM.

beautiful GTO with unusual blue and cream livery in 1962. He was a very good amateur driver of whom are remembered a seventh overall at the 1937 Mille Miglia (with Crivellari, the
owner of the workshop that prepared his racing cars) and a fourth overall in the 1962 Targa Florio (with grand Prix driver Giorgio Scarlatti in the GTO). He held a law degree but
was always employed in top management positions. He earned a Gold Medal for Military Value for his activity in the Resistance movement against the Nazi-Fascist in his region of Veneto.

Georges Filippinetti (CH) |
|
* 13 Aug 1901
† 3 May 1973 |
Plainpalais, Genève
Genève (Geneva) |
|---|
|
Filippinetti was a Swiss of Italian descent, as his family's origin was the town of Domodossola, on the Italian side of the Simplon Pass. Raced pre-war the 4CS Maserati ex-Maga
and Ruesch founding the Ecurie Genevoise with Adolphe Mandirola. His father Adolphe was an industrialist manufacturing heating and refrigerating appliances. Georges graduated
in Hydraulic Engineering with an eye on that profession, but he soon went into the car and property trades. He was very successful in business, also becoming the Swiss
concessionaire of Ferrari. Unfortunately, Filippinetti had two personal flaws: he was a chain-smoker and a big spender. The first led to his early death causing his business
and his over-extended properties to crumble and contributed to the tragic end of the lives of his wife and son. In 1961, he had created the Scuderia Filippinetti, one of most
prestigious private teams, giving the chance to many young drivers, among which was the Swiss Jo Siffert, even though they parted on less than amicable terms in 1963. The
Scuderia competed primarily in World Championship endurance racing. Its greatest day is considered to be the victory in the 1966 Targa Florio of Herbert Muller and
Willy Mairesse in Filippinetti's Porsche 906. In 1960, Georges Filippinetti had bought the Cha?teau de Grandson, at which he established the base for his team, a museum,
and a collection of classic cars. Then he bought the Riond-Bosson property in Morges which had been the home of Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and created the Prix Georges Filippinetti
as a tribute to the musician. He invested in the renovation of the spa of Yverdon-les-Bains, in the tourist development of Rougemont and in the protection of the site of
Saint-Prex. After his death ,his son Jean-Pierre Filippinetti, was left with burgeoning debts. The business struggled and, in 1987, he committed suicide, followed, tragically,
by that of his mother, a few weeks later.

Luigi Filippone (I) |
|
From Torre Annunziata, province of Napoli. Owner of a pasta factory. An amateur driver active from 1933 to 1939, Filippone was Rocco's co-driver and good friend. He drove
a Bugatti, an ex-Danese Alfa Monza and in 1938 ordered a Special from Vittorio Stanguellini with 6-cylinder 2800 Fiat engine and chassis. This was a famous car, which was
raced by Renato Balestrero in 1946. Filippone did not return to racing post-war, as he had had an accident while testing a Camen car, in which the young son of the Camen

Emma Firpo Vozzi (I) |
|
From Rome. In 1928, she published a small volume of poems entitled, one must admit with little originality, "Love Songs". Some poems were set to music by a certain Pier Adolfo Tirindelli,
which allowed the lady to style herself a "librettist". Time has mercifully covered this work - already neglected by critics of the tim - by oblivion More decent appears to be her motor
sport activity, almost entirely at the wheel of a 4-cylinder OM 1500 torpedo, although her most important result was obtained at the Premio Perugino del Turismo in 1926, at the wheel of a
Ceirano, with which she won the Coppa delle Dame, but above all she finished sixth overall among nine finishers, only seven seconds behind the winner of the 1500 class. The rest of her
activities included races at the extremely tough Coppa Etna in 1925 and Circuito di Caserta in 1928. That year she made an agreement with the organisers of the Circuito del Montenero to
hold a Ladies' Cup in conjunction with the main race, but over a shorter distance. Firpo Vozzi, the only participant, won the Cup by setting not inconsiderable lap times and was rewarded by
Costanzo Ciano in person.

Federico Fisauli was born to a family of old nobility in Catania. He was a sportsman, keen on horse riding and fencing and one of the founders of the Catania Aero Club. His uncle Giuseppe
was the O.M. agent in Catania and certainly influenced him in the choice of taking up motor racing. He bought an old Ceirano CS2H racing car that he drove with a dose of abandon but no luck
in the circuit races at Messina and Catania in 1925 and again at Catania in 1926, always retiring. In order to get an up to date machinery, he established a contact with the Maserati brothers
for purchasing a 2-litre tipo 26B. This car was not ready during 1928 so Fisauli got works rides in Messina, Catania, Mugello, Cremona and at the Vittorio Veneto-Cansiglio hillclimb with no
noticeable result except maybe a fourth overall in the home race at Catania. Vettura 29 arrived at the beginning of 1929. After other indifferent results at Tripoli, Messina and Rome, Baron
Fisauli decided to go back to the administration of his properties.

Luis Fontès' father was a Brazilian shipping tycoon and and his mother British.
In 1933 he inherited his father's considerable fortune. A Jekyll - Hyde type of character with such an appearence that many people could not
imagine him as a race driver. Behind the wheel the heavely bespectacled youngster turned into an incredibly competitive
driver. His after race parties also became infamous (as when he was balancing on the window ledge four stories up with a
girl on his shouders!). He hired an ex-Lewis Alfa Romeo Monza for the 1935 International Trophy
as his MG had an engine failure and sensationally went on to win the race. Later he bought the Alfa and entered it in a few events.
His greatest moment was his 1935 Le Mans victory in a Lagonda with Hawker test pilot John Hindmarsh.
But then was involved in a fatal road accident under the influence of alcohol and was tried, convicted and sent to jail for three years for manslaughter.
At the war Fontes joined the RAF, flying for the Air Transport Auxiliary, and flying a Wellington bomber he was killed in an airplane crash in
Llysworney, Glamorgan 1940.

Forest-Green was born in Argentina in a British family.
He went to school in England where he raced a Bentley. Later he returned to
Argentine where he became the importer of Rolls Royce, Bentley and Jowett and raced
sporadically until the war winning the 1928 Rafaela 500 miles race.
His Buenos Aires garage housed the cars of the British drivers that came to Argentina
for the early post WWII Temporadas. He used to entertain the foreign drivers
that invariantly acknowledged his and his wife Dora's hospitality.
In 1952 he acted as go-between BRM and Fangio, being able to make Gonzalez
part of the package. Cooper team manager for the 1953 Argentinian GP, he wanted
to resume racing and was able to drive an Aston-Martin in the 1954 Buenos Aires
1000 kms sports car race. Sadly his car burst in flames after leaving
the road early in the race; nobody helped him to extinguish the fire
from his clothes and he did not survive the burns and died 24 hours later.

|
Foresti was a young mechanic at Itala, first delivering cars (he delivered a car to the Tsar of Russia after driving it from Turin to St Petersburg in 1912) then racing Moriondo's car at the 1913 GP.
The post-war period found him in London as an agent for Itala and soon after for Isotta Fraschini. His company was called Bryanstone Garage and was located at 45 Crawford Place and Edgware road.
His garage foreman was Leo Villa, another Italian emigrant mechanic, who would become famous as a technician for the Campbells father and son. Accompanied by Villa he returned to racing at the
1921 Targa Florio where he won the 3-litre class in an Itala. In 1922 he was hired by Ballot while also looking after Count Zborowski's racing cars. A driver in great demand for his test-driving
skills, in 1924 he was hired by Peugeot for the Targa Florio and by Rolland Pilain for the Grand Prix. In 1923 and 1924 he also raced for Ariès in the Touring Car category. He switched to the
official Bugatti Grand Prix team in 1925, also racing for O.M. in endurance races, a commitment he extended to 1926. In 1925 Foresti was hired to set up and drive the Djelmo car destined for
the overall speed record. Testing with Foresti at the wheel, proved inconclusive, but Foresti was nevertheless hired exclusively for 1927, when the car was deliberated ready for a try-out at
the end of October on Pendine Sands beach. During the record attempt, a front wheel pivoted on the sand and triggered a frightening series of rolls. Foresti was very lucky to escape with
only a few fractures. Not yet fully recovered, he was taken over by Ettore Bugatti, who gave him a car for the Targa Florio and a sports car for Italian racing. At the same time he entered
the service of Ticino driver Mario Lepori for the preparation of his Bugatti Grand Prix cars, often competing with the spare car also during the following year. In 1929 he re-established his
relationship with O.M., remaining with Lepori for the Grand Prix. His last recorded race was the 1930 Mille Miglia. Foresti had been hired by Isotta-Fraschini as assistant to designer Giustino
Cattaneo for the development of high-performance marine engines and the preparation of Cattaneo's racing powerboats. He held this position until his retirement in the late 1950s.

Fossati was a graduate engineer who worked for CMN that had transferred production from Milan to Pontedera at the Officine Meccaniche Toscane . CMN will go down in the history of racing for
having entrusted an official car to rookie Enzo Ferrari in 1919. The decision to entrust the Officine Meccaniche Toscane with the construction of improved editions of the 15/20 HP earlier
raced by Ferrari and Sivocci also led to the construction of a 1940cc overhead-valve Tipo 7 sports car, that had a small circulation in Tuscan racing in the early 1920s. Fossati drove an
example of this car at the Montenero races of 1922/23/24.

Oscar had raced motorcycles in the mid twenties before he started racing touring cars in 1928 with a 750 cc BMW Dixi.
He was not seen racing after Emil's death.
The younger brother, Emil, first appeared at the 1927 Semmering with a touring Bugatti.
He was then seen again in 1929 and early 1930 with an old former works Steyr 5.0-liter racer,
which he entered at mountain climbs. During 1931 he acquired a 1.5-liter Bugatti T37A and the following year
he raced a 2.3-liter T35B. He entered the T35B at the Brooklands 500-Mile Race but retired.
The 1934 Eifelrennen was his first race that year and also his last.
After presumed contact with another car immediately after the start the Bugatti left the road at more than 100 mph.
The unfortunate driver was ejected through the air and landed on the concrete with a cracked skull.
Emil succumbed to his injures after he was brought to the Adenau hospital.
After his death the Bugatti T35B was acquired by Adolf Brudes in Breslau.

Edgar Fronteras was a very colorful character. He had been wounded and decorated as a Captain during WWI. Fronteras appeared in British as a self-styled friend of the Maserati brothers
and claiming to have raced in Italy before moving to England, something of which there is no evidence. He started a brokerage firm for Italian imports, from Maserati cars to Isotta-Fraschini engines.
Several British Vosper and Thornycroft motor torpedo boats built at that time were supplied with two or three Isotta Fraschini ASSO engines. At that time
Fronteras was also the managing director of the Caproni Agency with offices in Piccadilly. His masterpiece was the set up for two visits of the acquisition committee of the R.A.F. to the Caproni
factory near Milan at the beginning and at the end of 1939 with resulted in an order of 100 Caproni light reconnaissance bombers to R.A.F.. The order was later enlarged and then ceased when Italy entered the war.
In the 1950s Fronteras was in USA as the importer of Italian sports cars such as OSCA. He raced at Sebring and in the SCCA races of that period.

Joseph (later: Giuseppe) Furmanik (I) |
|
* 13 Mar 1903
† 5 May 1959 |
Horgen, Switzerland
Milano (Milan) |
|---|
|
Joseph Furmanik was of Polish descent and was born in Switzerland. His father was a works manager in a carpentry. His mother died 1910. Living in Colombier-Fontaine in France near the Swiss border,
on 1st August, 1914, 11 year old Joseph played "war" with his schoolmates. One team shouted "Vive la France!" and the other "Vive l’Allemagne !"
Later at home he hear someone shout "Vive la France!". Beliving it is his mates he answers "Vive l’Allemagne!" In the next second French soldiers entered the house and arrested Joseph and his father, sending them to prison.
Later they were interned to Corsica. Joseph was released in 1916 and sent to Vienna. After the war he managed by chance to find his father and they emigrated to Italy, Joseph changing his name to Giuseppe.
In Naples he married a wealthy Italian girl. He trained as an engineer and was co-designer of a parachute called the Salvator. In the early 1930s he
had been an occasional racing driver, although he was better known for his speed record-setting activities using various Maseratis,
his exploits presumably financed from patent royalties on his parachute designs. Acquainted with Il Duce since the mid-1920s and already the recipient of three gold medals for
his efforts, in 1937 Furmanik succeeded Count Vicenzo Florio as president of the RACI's Commissione Sportiva Automobilistica Italiana, so he now represented the RACI at AIACR meetings
as their delegate on the CSI: although the RACI still nominally controlled the Italian racing calendar via the CSAI the real power now lay with Furmanik, who had a foot in both camps.
Alongside Count Bonacossa, who ran motorcycle racing in Italy, he was therefore pretty much the Italian equivalent of Adolf Hühnlein.
The CSAI was re-formed (and reformed) in 1945 under Count Brivio and a number of other pre-war drivers who were - to a greater or lesser extent -
untainted by association with the Fascisti. Furmanik was - understandably - not involved.
In early 1945 Corriere dello Sport reported that Furmanik had donated a "substantial" amount of money to Corriere dello Sport's fund to reconstruct and rehabilitate Italian sport.
