Timeline
Eugenio Castellotti (10 October 1930 – 14 March 1957) was a racing driver from Italy.
In 1952 he won the Portuguese Grand Prix, was third at Bari and second at Monaco which was run that year for sports cars.
In 1953 he won the 10 Hours of Messina and finished third in the Carrera Panamericana in Mexico.
In 1954, he signed for Lancia and again drove sports cars whilst awaiting the team's Grand Prix car.
He eventually made his Grand Prix debut at Buenos Aires on 16 January 1955, for Lancia, but struggled in the warmer temperatures and crashed.
However, he finished second at Monaco, but in mid-season the team amalgamated with Scuderia Ferrari, for whom Castellotti drove for the remainder of his career.
He participated in 14 World Championship Grands Prix, achieving 3 podiums and scored a total of 19.5 championship points.
He secured pole position, with Lancia, at the 1955 Belgian Grand Prix, becoming the youngest driver to do so (at age 24 years, 7 months and 26 days), a record that stood for 13 years until Jacky Ickx's pole position at the 1968 German Grand Prix.
He also participated in several non-Championship Formula One races.
He won the 1956 Mille Miglia and 1956 12 Hours of Sebring, and took several Formula One World Championship podiums.
Castellotti won the March 1956 12 Hours of Sebring at Sebring, Florida partnered with Fangio.
He followed this triumph by winning the Mille Miglia race in Brescia and the Grand Prix for sports cars in Rouen, France.
Castellotti's Ferrari achieved a total race time of 2 hours 10 minutes 31.1 seconds, winning the race.
He was also second in the Nürburgring 1000 km race again partnered with Fangio.
Known for his sophisticated manners and tailored clothes, Castellotti had significantly prominent media profile in Italy for his relationship with ballerina and actress Delia Scala.
Castellotti and Scala were officially engaged at the time of his death.
Castellotti died at 26 years old during a private Ferrari test session at the Modena Autodrome.
His career was cut short by a fatal testing accident at Modena in 1957.
He was nicknamed "Il Bello" ("The Handsome").
Castellotti was born in Lodi, Italy.
He acquired a Ferrari 166 MM s/n 0058M at the age of twenty, from a local benefactor, and began racing sports cars.
Castellotti was testing a new Ferrari Grand Prix car for the 1957 season.
He had been told by Enzo Ferrari in person to test there and set a fast time, in order to beat an unofficial lap record that had just been set by Jean Behra for Maserati.
He hit a high kerb at a Chicane and was thrown out of the car; his body was hurled 100 yd.
The car repeatedly overturned before coming to rest in the members' stand.
No other people were hurt.
According to physicians, Castellotti's skull fracture caused his instant death.
Castellotti was considered the greatest Italian driver since Alberto Ascari.
In 1958, Castellotti's friend Giuseppe Corsi founded Scuderia Castellotti in Lodi to honour his memory.
The team used modified Ferrari Tipo 553 2.0-litre engines bored out to 2.5 litres and rebranded as "Castellotti", with "Eugenio" on the cam covers.
The cars were easily distinguishable from other F1 T51s in that their exhausts were fitted on the left, while all other engines used in T51s had their exhausts on the right.
Cabianca scored the team's first championship points by finishing fourth at the 1960 Italian Grand Prix.
The team folded in 1961 after Cabianca fatally crashed in the same autodrome where Castellotti had his accident.
Castellotti's legacy has been honoured by Club Auto Moto Storiche Castellotti in Lodi.
