In the history of motor racing, there has always been a second dimension, that of the small engine racing cars:  the so-called 'Vice Grand Prix'.

In the Thirties they were called vetturette, a little less fast than real racing cars, but able to ensure spectacle, technological advancement and a safe school for upcoming drivers.

Towards the end of the 1950s, these cars took the name Junior and later Formula 3.

Here is the 'suggestive battlefield', writes Cesare De Agostini, of Sor Gino (as Gino De Sanctis was called, with much sympathy and great respect) and his son Lucio, the latter proving to be a valid technician and driver. A rare binomial. 

At the wheel of the De Sanctis, many other names: Antonio Maglione, Giacomo Russo (who appeared under the pseudonym "Geki"). And then Odoardo Govoni, defined by the great journalist Severo Boschi l'eterno (the eternal) in a headline in Autosprint, which at the time was taking its first steps.

And then there was the unsuccessful bid, Jonathan Williams, who Enzo Ferrari also liked.
