Giampaolo Dallara. One idea: racing

Racing was everything to him. As soon as he graduated in engineering from the Politecnico di Milano he went out looking for someone who would hire him and send him to the races. Giampaolo Dallara had talent: in 1959 Ferrari hired him. But no races. So, he went to Maserati, a few races assisting customer drivers, but the company was in difficulty. He saw no future in it. Ferruccio Lamborghini invited him to join his company. To attract him, he sent him to Le Mans to find out how to prepare a car for a 24-hour race. A clever move. not once did Ferruccio think about going to Le Mans and when he arrived in the company, he asked him to design the new GT. It was to be the Miura.
