With the greatest pleasure, I am reading  Luca Dal Monte's new book "Enzo Ferrari", all 800+ pages of it!  Anybody that has any association with Ferrari should read this book and I should day as well that it is a great read!  It's a foggy and boring day here in Austin, so, I thought that I would have some fun with everybody.  So, here are some questions for those of you who have not read the book.  For those of you that have, please feel free to comment, but, don't give the answers away.

 

1.     What does Scuderia mean in English?

 

2.     What was Enzo's older brother's (killed on WWI) nickname?

 

3.     Who was the "Flying Mantuan"?

 

4.     In what year was Scuderia Ferrari founded?

 

5.     We all know that the Ferrari Shield came from an emblem on Count Bacara's WWI Fighter;  How did Enzo get this Shield and in what race and year was it first displayed on a S.F.car?

 

6.     What parts manufacturer in Bologna, whose first name was Eduardo, became an early and lifelong associate of Enzo's?

 

7.     Who was Enzo's favorite racing driver (pre-WWII)?

 

8.     How did Piero Taruffi get his start in racing?

 

9.     What did Tazio Nuvolari want to re-name Scuderia Ferrari?   

 

10.   What was Enzo's wife's first name?

 

Have fun!
