Born on this day in 1921, Giorgio Scarlatti was one of the first to race the Ferrari 250 GTO, driving it to a fourth-place finish in the 1962 Targa Florio. Today's Great Read retraces that debut year when the iconic car made a quick impact in the hands of some of the world's best drivers.
Denis Jenkinson read the situation perfectly. In early 1962, as the dust settled following the 'Palace Revolt' in which a number of senior figures had left Maranello, Jenks wrote in Motor Sport that the upheaval was "not likely to have any effect, for after all, Enzo Ferrari has been running a racing team for many years". In that time, he added, "there has been a long list of engineers coming and going… and yet Ferrari has gone on undisturbed, and it is my guess that he will continue in the same way".
