Gianpiero Moretti, founder of the Italian automotive equipment company Momo, for MOretti-MOnza, and a gentleman sportscar racer, has died at his home in Milan, Italy, at the age of 71 following a long battle with lung cancer.
Moretti was a regular campaigner in IMSA competition during the organization’s glory days of the ’80s and ’90s, mainly in Porsches, but also with March, Alba and Nissan prototypes, and finally with a Ferrari 333SP, a car he lobbied Piero Ferrari to build and with which he won the 1998 Rolex 24 at Daytona to fulfill a long-held dream.
