  • Lella Lombardi March 26, 1943- March 3, 1992 Nationality: Italian Raced Between 1975-1988
    Lella Lombardi March 26, 1943- March 3, 1992 Nationality: Italian Raced between 1975-1988 Origins: Maria Grazia “Lella” Lombardi was born in a small Italian village outside Turin in the midst of World War II. She came from modest means, with her father supporting the family through his work as town butcher. Growing up in rural Italy, Lella did not have much exposure to racing, or even cars, since her family’s fastest means of transportation was a 10-speed bicycle. Little did she know an injury during her teenage-years would lead her to a life of speed and adventure. Early Influences: Lombardi was a competitive and fearless child, excelling at the physically demanding sport of handball. Rumor has it that Lella’s first automobile experience was the result of a handball injury. Anecdotal evidence says Lombardi suffered a broken nose during a heated handball match and had to be driven to the nearest hospital. Instead of being concerned about her injury, Lombardi was awed by her first car ride. Impressed by the auto’s speed and driver’s ability to maneuver the busy streets of her hometown, she dreamed of one day having a car of her own and a racing career. A few years later, Lella finally saved up enough money to afford driving lessons and honed her skills behind the wheel of her boyfriend’s car. After passing her driving test, she bought a second-hand Fiat and began looking for racing opportunities. By coincidence Lombardi was introduced to a race car driver and began working with him, determined to learn all she could about the sport.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • 1975 Williams FW04 Chassis 02
    1975 Williams FW04 chassis 02 Debuted at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix, the FW04 was the second ever model created by the fledgling Frank Williams Racing Cars Team. For 1975, the team would use a combination of Arturo Merzario, Jacques Lafitte, Ian Scheckter and Lella Lombardi for driving duties. A very limited budget (even resorting to buying second hand tyres at some Grand Prix) didn’t hold the plucky team back though - the talented Lafitte even managing to bring the first FW04 home in second place at the 1975 German Grand Prix, earning the team a very valuable six championship points. Whilst reliability often eluded the FW04, the car showed real flashes of pace, and hinted at the great things to come from the team. In late ’75, this car (chassis 02) was constructed by the team and entered into the US Grand Prix for the lighting quick lady-driver Lella Lombardi. Reliability issues sadly curtailed her weekend, and the car wouldn’t run in another Grand Prix. With Canadian oil baron Walter Wolf buying up 60% of Frank Williams Racing Cars for 1976, FW04 chassis 01 had one more race with Renzo Zorzi, who even outqualified team-mate Jacky Ickx in the new FW05 at the opening round in Brazil. Both FW04s were then retired by the team, who had since moved onto the FW05. Chassis 02 is newly rebuilt by Hall & Hall, and comes equipped with a fresh Richardson DFV. Ready to race in Masters F1, and a great entry for Monaco 2018 (this is the only race-ready FW04 in existence), the car represents a perfect entry for those looking to be competitive in a car wearing one of the most iconic names in Grand Prix history.
