#TeodoroZeccoli

Teodoro “Dorino” Zeccoli (Lugo di Romagna, 15 October 1929 – Imola, 6 March 2018) was an Italian racing driver and development test driver, closely associated with Alfa Romeo and Autodelta. He began competing in the 1950s with Fiat, O.S.C.A. and Lancia cars before joining Abarth in 1960 as a professional driver and tester. In 1963, he followed engineer Carlo Chiti to ATS and subsequently joined Autodelta, becoming one of its principal test and development drivers. Over nearly two decades, he contributed to the development of numerous Alfa Romeo road and competition cars, including the Giulia TZ and TZ2, Giulia Sprint GTA, GTAm and Tipo 33 sports prototypes. His extensive racing career included major international endurance events, hillclimbs and touring car competitions, with appearances at Le Mans, Sebring, the Targa Florio and the Nürburgring. On 12 March 1967, he gave the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 its competition debut, winning the Fléron hillclimb in Belgium. His achievements also included Italian national titles in sports car and touring car racing. Zeccoli continued his testing activities with Alfa Romeo until 1981, playing an important role in the development of the company's competition programme.

We'll publish a biography on him on the occasion of his anniversary or when it will be reached a sufficient number of cars.
