Ya Sure, In early 1900 Fiat & Alfa Romeo did racing in Italy.I dont know the name of Fiat But Ferrari I know.It was 20.02.1898,when Enzo Ferrari the founder of Scuderia Ferrari empire was born in Modena,Italy.He was born in middle class family where his father was having a little factory of processing metal.This family tradition is still continuing in making of ferrari cars!!!!Enzo's father use to take enzo to see races and from small age he had developed the feeling of becoming race driver which he became by joining Fiat racing team.Then he join Alfa Romeo.He was not as successful race drive like Schumi but the aggression and hunger for victory was there in his mind.He eat,sleep,talk,bath races only.He was also test rider for VESPA.Then he asked Alfa Romeo who left racing world to supply cars for his racing team and took some good engineers and drivers from that team.You will see the logo of Prancing horse on old Alfa Romeos still today. Prancing Horse: Enzo's elder bro was fighter pilot and had this logo on his plane and this logo was adopted by him on his cars.Enzo too served his country in World War[DONT KNOW WHICH 1 OR 2]He has overcomed a fatal illness also. Then after the end of world war 2 and the year of Iour independence Scuderia Ferrari company was esatblished in 1947.But after some years SF became bankrupt and enzo was going to sell his company to Mr. Henry Ford.But people of Italy opposed this and then Ferrari was bought by Fiat.You will see FIAT written on the nose of every F1 car of Ferrari.But he sold his company to Fiat under 1 conditin that all the racing things wiil be taken care my himself only.Fiat agreed it and the italian giant aquired Ferrari.Fiat is owing Ferrari,Maserati,& Alfa Romeo* also. But the personal life of Enzo was not as good as his racing life.He lost his young son early.His name was Dino.There is a Ferrari name Dino.He didnt had good marraige life also. He served as a dedicated employee of the company.He said "I LOVE TO LOOSE THAN TO WIN IN RACE".The reason when asked, he said that buy loosing he get to know about the team's weakness which is still going on and the result is here, 16 TIMES F1 CHAMPIONS.Then after serving for 40 years on 14.08..1988 he died. The last car which was developed under his guidance was F40 and so it is 2ND of my favourite Ferrari. When company completed 60 years a car named F60 was launched earlier in 2002, which was named ENZO and this is my favourite car. At present Mr. Luca De Montezmollo is the president of Fiat & Ferrari. Hope this info is enough.If possible try to get his biography DVD.I am trying seen year but still not got.But am trying. Regards Ride & Drive Safely Vatsal "SCUDERIA BOY" Shah
