Ludovico Scarfiotti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludovico Scarfiotti (18 October 1933 - 8 June 1968) was a Formula One and sports car driver from Italy. Just prior to entering Formula One, he won the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans for Ferrari. Immediately after he debuted in Grands Prix racing on 23 June, later participating in 10 races. He won 1 race, and scored a total of 17 championship points.
Scarfiotti was born in Turin. His 1966 Italian Grand Prix win, at the wheel of a Ferrari, was the last (as of 2006) by an Italian driver.
He was known as a man of impeccable manners and a perfect gentleman. Images of him show him racing in a traditional Ferrari blazer and a bow tie sans helmet. Not much is known of his driving style, though it is generally accepted that he had a good sense of fair play and was always unwilling to jeopardise anyone's safety but his own.
Scarfiotti died in 1968 at a hillclimbing event on the Roßfeldhöhenringstraße near Berchtesgaden, Germany.
