In the beginning
  • Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898, he spent much of
    his formative years as a racing driver. He joined
    Alfa Romeo in 1920 as a driver then moved to the
    technical and design side. In 1929, Alfa Romeo
    withdrew from motor racing and Ferrari took over
    their workshops under the name Scuderia Ferrari.

    'true' Ferrari single seater design was produced
    and Ferrari soon gained a reputation for
