FOREWORD by CARLO CAVICCHI, authoritative motorsport journalist and rally expert
Mario Mannucci was for one and all the “Maestro”. Before him there had never been such a determinant figure, capable of triggering that process that took the role of the rally navigator to professional levels. A navigator will rarely win a rally, they are far more likely to lose one.
Mario Mannucci won 25 times around the world, including the Monte Carlo Rally twice, before becoming a successful team manager and designing routes with painstaking precision. He illuminated the rallying world with his smile as a loyal professional decent man, one who could live for culture and love good food.
This book tells the life of a professional who couldn’t do without rallying. An example to follow, a man with Lancia in his heart and racing in his soul.
It describes the unjust end of its history and that of a decade – from the 70s to the 80s – featuring larger-than-life figures, gruelling rallies and a wholly unforgettable pairing: Munari-Mannucci.
