Cesare Fiorio is a man of success in many areas of motor racing. A competitive amateur driver, he was motor sport director of Lancia and Fiat, which won no fewer than 18 world rally and endurance racing championships under his guidance. After becoming team manager of Ferrari, he immediately scored his first victories and started negotiations with the invincible ace of Formula 1 Ayrton Senna, and convinced him to sign for Maranello, but ... In this book, written in collaboration with Roberto Boccafogli, Fiorio tells for the first time why things did not go the right way. This 14th title in the “Racing Life” series edited by Gianni Cancellieri offers a mesmerising account of decades of international motor sport, packed with unknown behind-the-scenes stories and illustrated with extraordinary pictures, which do not just stop at the pit wall. Among other things, it is also a documented account of Fiorio’s career as an international speedboat racing champion as well as a record of his Atlantic Ocean crossing in “Destriero”.
