The thoughts of Tecno had been tucked away in a corner of my mind forover thirty years. I had started on this adventure, together with my brotherLuciano, when we were both young. I had not yet come of age and had to askfor special dispensation from Bologna magistrates before I could begin work.We began almost for fun, but the results and the success we obtained pushed us even further.
In eleven years of activity we achieved success both on a domestic and international level and reached the top in every category inwhich we took part: national and world karting championships, domestic and European Formula 3 championships, domestic trophies, hill-climb championships and the European Formula 2 Championship.
The rapid succession ofthese achieved goals, in which we clearly excelled against our more famouscompetitors such as BMW, Brabham, Cooper, Ferrari, Lotus, March andMatra, took us to the very top of international motorsport, the World Formula1 Championship. After quitting the world of racing competition, I left behind the memories of that period of my life. In recentyears I have often been asked by journalists, historic car enthusiasts and racing car experts to do something to ensure that the memories of this company are not lost for ever, and to ensure that they have their rightful place in Italian racing competition history. For this reason, in view of the authors' commitment and the accuracy shown in their historical research as well as their passion, I agreed to their request for collaboration and decided to offer them all the documentation necessary for a correct reconstruction of the history of Tecno. And so it was that the faces of the drivers who raced with our cars and of the engineers who worked with us, the emotional joy of winning races, the success and the reputation that Tecno achieved abroad, even more so than in Italy, the numerous crowds of Tecno fans and countless exciting episodes that marked eleven glorious years of activity began to re-emerge from the depths of my memory.
This book fills a gap in the history of Italian motorsport and places Tecno in the right dimension that it had deservedly conquered on the track. It is the most complete and exhaustive documentation of the events described.
My warmest thanks go to the authors and a special dedication goes out to my sons Corrado and Manuele and to my brother Luciano.
