Cesare Fiorio is a successful and multifaceted man in the world of sport. A good amateur driver when he was young, later he was sports director of Lancia and Fiat, with whom he won 18 world titles in rally and track.
When he became team manager at Ferrari, he immediately obtained his first victories and began secret treaties with the invincible ace of Formula 1, Ayrton Senna, and convinced him to sign for the Maranello team, but… how things didn't go smoothly is told by him for the first time in this book, written together with Roberto Boccafogli.
The fourteenth title in the successful Vite da corsa series, edited by Gianni Cancellieri, offers a fascinating tale of decades of international motor racing, full of unknown behind-the-scenes stories and illustrated with stunning images that do not stop at the pit wall.
Also documented is Fiorio's competitive activity as an international powerboat champion, as well as the Atlantic crossing record he conquered with the 'Destriero'.
208 pages, and tens of pictures, 136 in colour and 51 in b/w.
