History

Vittorio Stanguellini developed this Formula Junior for his Formula Corsa car and was considered the most successful design of the early years. Designed by Ing. Massimino and tested by Fangio at the Modena circuit a lot was expected from this design. The cars dominated European Junior racing throughout 1958 and 1959. Roberto Lippi captured the Italian championship driving a Stanguellini in 1958 and Cammarota did likewise in 1959. Michael May won the international championship in 1959 also driving a Stanguellini. About 150 Stanguellinis were constructed.
