Welcome to Italian Legends
Italy’s rich motorsport legacy—epitomized by brands like Ferrari, legendary drivers, and visionary pioneers—continues to shape the sport’s landscape.
Forza Italia: even if the Formula 1 roll of honour may not reflect huge Mediterranean success of late, there can be no doubting the vast scale of the contribution Italy has, and is still, making to motorsport.
Few countries can rival the list of great Italian brands: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Ducati, MV Agusta… Or how about the driving talent: Nuvolari, Farina, Ascari, Agostini, Musso, Andretti, Alboreto, Rossi… And then there are those behind the scenes, pulling the strings: Enzo Ferrari, Mauro Forghieri, Gioacchino Colombo, Carlo Abarth, Ferruccio Lamborghini, the Maserati brothers… Without names such as these, the sport we know would be poorer.
Even when it comes to breaking competition free from the confines of a circuit, the Italians arguably did that best too, thanks to road-racing classics such as the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio where fans lined roads three-deep for a ticketless glimpse at the finest cars and drivers of the age… talk about bringing the sport to the people.
