Enzo Ferrari Makes Auto Racing Debut - October 5, 1919

October 5, 1919
On this day in 1919, a young Italian car mechanic and engineer named Enzo Ferrari takes part in his first car race, a hill climb in Parma, Italy. He finished fourth. Ferrari was a good driver, but not a great one. In all, he won just 13 of the 47 races he entered. Many people say that this is because he cared too much for the sports cars he drove, he could never bring himself to ruin an engine in order to win a race.
