Other drivers

Names whose story we still lack

Our records hold many names of which we have little more than the name itself: a line in a final classification, lettering on a flank, a note under a photograph.

We list them anyway. Anyone who knows something about one of them — a photograph, a result, a car, a year — is welcome to get in touch. Several of the pages here grew out of exactly such notes.

From LAB’s tally of wins

Luigi De Negri · Francesco Leopardi · Roberto Vidori · Sergio Ravaglia · Angelo Sonvico

Nine drivers won on a LAB. Of these five we know nothing further:

Luigi De Negri · Francesco Leopardi · Roberto Vidori · Sergio Ravaglia · Angelo Sonvico

From the 1971 final standings

The final standings of the seventh Trofeo Cadetti Agip give these names — without makes, since the table lists none:

Tagliabue · «Cini» · Bertaccini · Verrelli · Milani · Panzeri · Frigerio · Bertini · Barbero · Monti · Mercatelli · Ongari · «Gloris»

From the LAB vehicle table

A table in the LAB material names drivers whose chassis is unknown:

Adriano Mascheroni · Tiziano Minellono · Gianni Garbellini · Giorgio Garbellini · Maurizio Ferraresi · Ozello · D. Panzeri

From an article on the Autodromo di Morano Po

Mario Martinotti recalls the drivers from Casale who raced there:

Alberto Viale · Carlo Chiriotti · Vittorio Verda «McTob» · Piero Rossino · Sergio Rosso · Roberto Bosso · Castellaro

From registers and documents

These names appear on cars, in documents or beneath photographs. Not all of them are established as drivers: for some, the source shows only that they owned a car:

Carlo Pancotti · Aldo Grassano · Gianni Benso · Adriano Quartero · Renato Benusiglio · Carlo Riponi

From the 2025 exhibition

For the sixtieth year the Scuderia Salvati Milano, together with the Autodromo di Monza, mounted an exhibition in the former museum area during the ACI Historic Racing Weekend. The report on it names further people:

Arnaldo Bernacchini · Peo Consonni — driver, scrutineer, mechanic and instructor in one · Marco Tremolada, the monoposto’s first test driver · Pippo Bianchi, the most successful driver never to take the title

Also named are Simonetta Fossati, secretary of the Trofeo Cadetti, and Adriano Salvati as the scuderia’s president.

Two spellings differ. Our section page has Vincenzo Galmanini as the author of the technical regulations, the report has Vincenzo Galvanini. And our driver list carries Riccardo Calegari, the report Riccardo Caligari. We have left the names as they stand with us — which spelling is right remains open.

From Massimo Campi's book

«Correvamo con i formulini» names these fourteen only in lists — mostly among the Scuderia Salvati drivers — without saying more about them:

Alex Aghemio · Fulvio Maria Ballabio · Marco Baroncini · Giampaolo Bizzotto · Luca Canni Ferrari · Claudio Ciantia · Sandrino Corsini · Nicola Cossovich · Edoardo Elli · Salvatore Geraci · Alberto Moioli · Pasquale Notarnicola · Carlo Rossi · Rocco Verduci

Where something does not add up

Two things stand out. Our driver list carries Cristiano “Poppi” Minellono, while the LAB table has Tiziano Minellono — two people, or a mistake? And Panzeri appears both in the 1971 standings and as “Panzeri D.” in the table.
