Enzo Ferrari founded the Scuderia Ferrari


Sunday 1st December 1929

Enzo Ferrari founded the Scuderia Ferrari. Alfa Romeo had temporarily withdrawn from racing in 1925 and the Scuderiaís main task was to assist his wealthy Alfa Romeo customers with their racing efforts by providing delivery, mechanical support and any other services that they would require. Along his ‘stable’ of amateur drivers he signed Giuseppe Campari and, an even greater coup, Tazio Nuvolari. Scuderia Ferrari caused a sensation with their 50 strong full and part-time driver line-up. It was the largest team ever put together by one individual and of the 22 participations Enzo’s team won eight, aside generally good results.
