#UmbertoMaglioli

Umberto Maglioli (Bioglio, 5 June 1928 – Monza, 7 February 1999) was a renowned Italian racing driver, celebrated for his versatility and success in both sports car racing and Formula One. Known for his endurance and technical skill, Maglioli competed for prestigious teams including Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, and Lancia, achieving victories in some of the most demanding races of his time. He won the Targa Florio three times (1953, 1956, 1968), the Carrera Panamericana in 1954 driving a Ferrari 375 Plus, and earned a class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring. He also took part in the Mille Miglia, Le Mans, and several Formula One Grands Prix, including stints with Scuderia Ferrari and Centro Sud. Maglioli was admired not only for his talent but also for his mechanical sensitivity and ability to preserve the car over long distances—traits that made him a valuable asset in endurance racing. He was the brother of Claudio Maglioli, himself a respected specialist in high-performance car preparation, tuner, and test driver. Together, they were part of a family deeply embedded in Italian motorsport culture.

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