Mme. Lucy O'Reilly Schell (USA)
* 26 Oct 1896
† 8 Jun 1952
Paris, France
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Lucy O'Reilly was the daughter of an American multi-millionare of Irish origin. As the only child she was used to get anything she wanted. On a trip in Europe after the First World War she met Laury Schell, a race-crazy American, who had lived in France since his early youth. They got married and settled down in France and their son Harry was born in 1921. (He would become a well-known F1 driver in the 1950s.) Lucy and Laury soon became familiar names in rally events. With her father paying the bills Lucy demanded and got the best equipment available and in 1934 the name Delahaye started to appear in the results lists of motor sports events.
But Lucy had greater plans. Delahaye was developing a new car series, the type 135, and Lucy wanted a special racing variant to be built, the 135 Compétition Spéciale or 135 CS. In the end Lucy owned six 135CS. Drivers included Laurie Schell, René le Bègue, Joseph Paul and later also René Carrière and René Dreyfus. By now Lucy had taken over the multi-million property as her father had died and nothing could stop her. She asked Delahaye to built a hybrid car for both Grand Prix and sportscar racing, the Delahaye 145. With that Lucy Schell's "Ecurie Bleue" team with René Dreyfus as driver won the 1938 Pau and Cork GPs. Ecurie Bleue changed to Maseratis. Laury Schell died in an accident in 1939 where Lucy was injured. Lucy took the Maseratis to Indianapolis 1940 where they were to be raced by Dreyfus and Le Bègue.

With that car he was 2nd at Kolberg 1933 and in 1934 he was 4th at Kesselberg 1934 tooka victory at Riesengebirgsrennen Oberscheiberau and a 3rd at Großer Bergpreis at Freiburg. He contiued racing as private driver in 1935 with fellow Dresden drivers Willy Seibel, Emil Rothmann, Hans Lewand and Adolf Brudes. However with the Bugatti turning uncompetive and unable to buy better equipment Schellenberg decided to quit racing. After the war he built up a successful wire factory at Sinsheim/Steinsfurt near Heidelberg. Still being a Bugatti enthusiast he managed to find a T37 and later an T35C (ex-Prince Lobkowitz), restored them and and took part in historic events. Both cars are at the Technology Museum in Sinsheim. See also the official site (in German).

Florian Schmidt ("Dimsch") (CS)
* 31 Jul 1908
† ?
Krnov (Jägerndorf), Silesia
Austria
Florian Schmidt Junior was the son of a textile manufacturer in Jägerndorf, Czechoslovakia but lived in Austria. He drove under the pseudonym 'Dimsch' during 1928 with a Bugatti T40, a 4-cylinder 1.5-liter sports car with T37 engine. In 1929 he purchased a new 1.1-liter 6-cylinder supercharged Amilcar. He drove primarily at montain climb events. In 1931 he added a 1.5-liter Bugatti T37A in which he won his class at the Masaryk Circuit, which was to be his greatest success. From 1932 on he teamed up with Bruno Sojka who had an older Bugatti T37A. In 1934 the team purchased from the Molsheim factory a 1.5-liter 8-cylinder twin-cam supercharged Bugatti T51A, formerly owned by Pierre Veyron. Schmidt entered in the Eifelrennen where he placed second behind Castelbarco's 1.5-liter Maserati but beat Burggaller in another T51A. Due to commitments with his work, Schmidt limited his driving to very few races but he entered at mountain climbs, like the Ecce Homo Race in 1937. Died in Austria sometimes after the Second World War.

Willi Seibel (D)
* 30 Apr 1896
† 1977
Diez
?
Willi Seibel was a private driver from Diez about 40 km north of Wiesbaden. He raced for 12 years with three different cars, all 1.5-liter Bugattis, in the sports and racing category of many contests. To all races he was accompanied by his trusted race- and riding mechanic Karl Michel from Diez. Seibel acquired a T22 Bugatti, which he raced as of 1925 at hill climbs in the sports car category, winning his class on many occasions. He later replaced it with a 4-cyl supercharged T37A. That car was destroyed by fire at the 1928 German GP when he had a high speed crash at the Antoniusbuche on lap lap 7, Seibel receiving serious burns. When he left hospital three months later, Seibel immediately bought a new T37A, which he kept in race worthy condition until his death. Seibel raced this car as either sports car or stripped down as racing car. On three occasions he was able to establish best time of the day, beating larger and stronger cars. Seibel's greatest result was at the 1931 Eifelrennen where he finished fourth overall. But eventually his old car was no longer competitive and Seibel decided to retire from racing after 1936. As graduate of the Düsseldorf and München School of Arts and Crafts, Seibel continued the 300-year tradition of his family of painters. As a well known restorer Seibel was trusted with the renovation of the Limburg cathedral in 1936 and 1956 the castle of Oranienstein in Diez. Seibel helped organize the first postwar races at the Nürburgring, including the 1951 Grand Prix of Germany where he served as Clerk of the Course. He was honorary member of the Bugatti-Club Deutschland and received the highest recognition from the ADAC. Seibel died 80 years old.

(There has been a great confusion about Severi especially in the Anglo Saxon racing literature. However the correct name is definitely Francesco Severi so disregard all references to any Giulio/Guido/Luigi Severi)

Siena joined Alfa Romeo as a young apprentice. He worked for the race department and was among other things riding mechanic for Ascari and Campari and later Nuvolari's mechanic. He became principal test driver for Scuderia Ferrari in 1930. He raced for the team as a junior driver and proved to be a steady and reliable driver. His greatest cuccess however came in sports car racing; he was the winner of the Spa 24h race in 1932. In 1934 he left Scuderia Ferrari and went on to race private Maseratis, first an 8C then a 6C-34, under the Scuderia Siena banner, in GPs until 1936. He then turned to Voiturette racing. After some good performances, including a victory at the 1937 Circuito de Milano, he got the opportunity to race for Alfa Corse. However, at his first race, the 1938 Tripoli GP he lost control of his Alfa Romeo 312, trying to avoid Cortese's voiturette. He went off track, hit a sand dune and then crashed into a wall of a house. Siena was trown out of his car and died instantly.

On his grave is says: "He never did anything important, but he never hurt anyone. He had fun". Son of a prince, president of the Bank of Italy, senator and palace owner the family hoped Francesco to have diplomatic career. However after graduating from high school he prefered a jetset life with many women, travelling and adventuring throughout Europe. When temporary broke he improvised as a professional dancer, even getting hired by a theater. On an ocean liner to America he met an rich American girl, married her within 24 hours only to have a divorce within four days. He did some racing in the late 1920s and early 1930s. At the 1930 Tripoli GP he injured an eye as his goggles were shattered by a stone. Finally he got married to Duchess Anna Grazioli and found a job as president of the Capri tourist board, a perfect job as knows all the international jet set. He spent his last years in Capri living on money he earned from a poulty farm. He died in 1998 at an age of 90.

Pierre Raymond Sommer (F)
* 31 Aug 1906
† 10 Sep 1950
Mouzon, Ardennes
Cadours, Haute-Garonne
Son of one of France's pioneer airplane manufacturers. He started racing in the early 30s. Because of his courage and driving style the spectators gave Sommer the nickname "Raymond Coeur de Lion". Sommer never gave up, always racing flat out even when all hope of a good position was lost. Sommer is surely Grand Prix racing's greatest individualist, as he refused any major offer for a works drive, preferring to be his own man. Of course that decision showed up in the results, as Sommer often tried the impossible task to challenge the latest works cars with antique equipment. Most of Sommer's greatest successes therefore came in sportscar racing. He was victorious at the French GP in 1936 and won at Le Mans twice in 1932 and 1933. Sommer was also known for his fair play and good sportsmanship. After the war he did not hesitate to head of the highly unpopular campaign to release Dr. Porsche from prison. Sommer was racing as good as ever and his sudden death after a freak accident while racing a 1100cc car in the minor GP de Cadours, came as a shock to the racing world. Shortly before he had been awarded the Légion d'Honneur as France's greatest driver.

Oscar Stahel was the son of Swiss Hermann Stahel, who had done some racing back in 1899 and worked as Sales Manager of the La Cuadra cars in Barcelona, Spain, and Dolores Cortina from Barcelona, whose brother Jesús Cortina was the manager of the agency that imported Austin cars. The couple moved to Switzerland, where Oscar was born in Zürich in 1905. Four years later Oscar and her mother returned to Barcelona, where they would live for the rest of their lives, but Oscar would always remain a Swiss citizen. In 1925 Oscar Stahel started working at his uncle´s Austin agency, as both a salesman and mechanic. By 1928 he formed the "Peña Austin" of which owners of the cars were members and some regularity rallyes were organized. Oscar started racing in 1928 with his own Austin 7. From 1931 he started racing Bugattis (not his own). His uncle had started importing Morris in 1932 and Oscar's last race in 1934 was in a Morris. Oscar would remain associated to Morris the rest of his life through his own garage in Barcelona after the war.

Rudolf Steinweg (D)
* 1888

?
Budapest, Hungary
Steinweg began racing in 1921 but soon departed from the racing scene. He then appeared again in 1929 as a private driver in the old 1.1-liter BNC and 1.5-liter NSU racing cars at mountain climbs. In 1930 he got a 1.1-liter 6-cylinder Amilcar. He won 21 races with this racing car over the next three years, almost all mountain climbs. Steinweg was one of the fastest drivers in those little cycle cars. In 1933 he sold the Amilcar to Willi Briem and acquired a 1927 built T35 Bugatti, which used to belong to Karl Kappler, who had sold it 1930 to Prince von Leiningen. Steinweg began racing this 2-liter car in his favorite mountain climbs but now also circuit races. In 1935 he got the T51A Bugatti, a 1.5-liter monoposto racing car and then raced both Bugattis in different classes. At the training for the Guggerberg mountain climb near Budapest, Hungary, Rudolf Steinweg had a fatal accident. He was 47 years old.
