CORSO MARCHE 38 - THE KINGDOM OF THE SHADOW MAN
RACING TEAM FIAT - LANCIA, MECHANICS THAT PEOPLE...
There is an address in Turin that, to any motorsport aficionado, is far more than a street - it is a shrine: Corso Marche 38. Right there, inside the former Abarth headquarters and the beating heart of the Fiat-Lancia Racing Department, global rallying history was written.
Today, that inner sanctum is brought vividly back to life in an extraordinary volume: Corso Marche 38: the Kingdom of the Shadow Man. Co-authored by Gianni Tomazzoni, Rino Buschiazzo, and Roberto Vittone, the book pulls back the curtain on the true, yet often unsung heroes of Italy’s motorsport triumphs: mechanics, test drivers, and technicians.
They are the "shadow men" Far from the champagne and the media spotlight that shone on star drivers, these silent but crucial figures forged invincible icons. With hands coated in grease and minds constantly at work, they gave birth to legendary cars such as the Fiat 131 Abarth, Lancia Stratos, Lancia Rally 037, and the immortal Lancia Delta.
Delivered with authentic prose and packed with untold, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, the work is much more than a clinical technical record. It is a deeply human reportage, a passionate tribute to an unrepeatable golden era of automotive Made in Italy.
Corso Marche 38: the Kingdom of the Shadow Man celebrates the genius, the sleepless nights, and the absolute self-sacrifice of a special breed of "people" without whom the legend of Turin's racing heritage would simply never have crossed the finish line.
