Product description
Preface by CARLO CAVICCHI, authoritative motorsport journalist and rally expert.
Born into a family that had constructed a major industrial concern, Tony Carello made a substantial contribution to the remarkable success that rendered the Lancia Stratos eternal, the ‘victory machine’, a car capable of writing entire chapters of motorsport and in particular rallying history. A number of these chapters featured Tony, all the appeal of a 1950s actor, very fast in all conditions, likeable and friendly but not one to mince his words if promises were not kept. Unfortunately, that occurred to the extent that he was forced to leave – slamming the door behind him – the team that had accompanied him anyway, for better or worse, through to his win in the 1978 European Rally Championship as he became one of the fastest and most promising Italian drivers.
He had his future ahead of him, Tony, but something went wrong and the story was interrupted. Abruptly, overnight.
In this book, the “Face of the Stratos” tells it all, once again, without mincing his words.
