Luigi Chinetti

An Alfa Romeo car mechanic who rose to become one of the greatest endurance drivers of his generation, the man responsible for establishing Ferrari in the United States and patron of his own highly successful motor racing team. Almost too much to be rolled into one man, but that, in a nutshell, was Luigi Chinetti.

A man worthy of so much more than such a threadbare cliché, so let’s at least try to do some kind of justice to him.
