He was married to Maria Pia, with whom he had two children: Alessia and Gian Maria. [2]
Racing career
Pre-Formula One
Early racing and Formula Three
Regazzoni first started competing in car races in 1963,[3] at the comparatively late age of 24. Many of his early motorsport experiences were across the border in Italy, Switzerland having banned motor racing following the horrific accident at the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The 1955 Le Mans disaster occurred during the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans when a racing car involved in an accident flew into the crowd killing the driver ( Pierre Levegh The 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 23rd Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on June 11 and 12, 1955. His first outings were in his own Austin-Healey Sprite, with which he took two podium finishes from only his first three races. The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small open Sports car which was announced to the press in Monte Carlo by the British Motor Corporation (BMC on 20th [3] This instant success encouraged Regazzoni to move up to a Mini Cooper for the 1964 club racing season. The Mini is a small car that was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC and its successors from 1959 until 2000
1965 saw Clay Regazzoni behind the wheel of an open-wheeled car for the first time, as he entered the European Formula Three championship with a Brabham. Formula Three, also called Formula 3 or F3, is a class of open-wheel formula racing. Origins The Brabham team was founded by Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac, who met in 1951 while both were successfully building and racing cars in their native This first season brought moderate success, and improving form during 1966 (this time driving a De Tomaso) brought him to the attention of ambitious Italian constructor Tecno. De Tomaso Modena SpA is an Italian car -manufacturing company Tecno was a Formula One constructor from Italy. It participated in 10 grands prix entering a total of 11 cars and scored one championship point Tecno offered Regazzoni the use of one of their F3 chassis for 1967, where his reliable, fast performances earnt him the offer of a works Tecno drive in Formula Two for the following year. Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, was a type of Formula racing. Despite this, Regazzoni continued to drive in Formula Three events during 1968 and, not for the last time, was lucky to survive a major accident. Exiting the chicane during the Monaco Grand Prix F3 support race, Regazzoni lost control of his car and collided heavily with the crash barrier. The Monaco Grand Prix (Grand Prix de Monaco is a Formula One race held each year on the Circuit de Monaco. The diminutive size of the F3 machine allowed it to pass under the rail, the sharp metal edge of the armco slicing across the top of the open cockpit. Luckily for him, Regazzoni's survival instincts kicked in and he managed to duck down low enough in the driving seat for the rail to pass above him, missing his head by a tiny margin. The car eventually came to a halt when the roll hoop, behind Regazzoni's head and significantly lower than the top of his helmet, wedged itself underneath the barrier. Roll bar redirects here For the suspension component called a roll bar see Sway bar. [3]
Formula Two
In Formula Two, Regazzoni had found the ideal partner in Tecno. His hard-charging style perfectly matched the forward thinking Tecno ambitions, and Regazzoni quickly developed a reputation as a tough competitor. Regazzoni was implicated in the death of young British driver Chris Lambert at the 1968 F2 Dutch Grand Prix. Some observers accused Regazzoni, who was running well up the field, of deliberately running Lambert's Brabham off the track while lapping him. Origins The Brabham team was founded by Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac, who met in 1951 while both were successfully building and racing cars in their native Lambert lost control and crashed into a bridge. Regazzoni was fully exonerated at the subsequent inquest, although rumours persisted for many years afterward. [3] Lambert's father pursued a private action against Regazzoni, which dragged on for five years before finally being abandoned. Regazzoni remained with Tecno throughout his three years in Formula Two (although he drove most of the 1969 season for the Ferrari Formula Two team. Scuderia Ferrari is the name for the Gestione Sportiva the division of the Ferrari automobile company concerned with racing [2]) and in 1970 they took the European Formula Two Championship together. Formula Two, abbreviated to F2, was a type of Formula racing.
Sports car racing
As well as single seater racing, Regazzoni participated in sports car racing, including the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans where he and Arturo Merzario raced a Ferrari 512S. Sports car racing is a form of circuit Auto racing with Automobiles that have two seats and enclosed wheels The 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 38th Grand Prix of Endurance and took place on June 13 and 14, 1970.

This would prove to be Regazzoni's only appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, although he did test for the 1972 event. The 24 Hours of Le Mans ( 24 Heures du Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually since near the town of Le Mans, Sarthe,
For the following two years Regazzoni was a permanent fixture in Ferrari's sports car racing squad. With the new 312B-based 312P cars underneath him, Regazzoni regularly ran at or near the front of the field. The Ferrari 312B was a series of Formula One racing car models designed and built by Scuderia Ferrari. The Ferrari 312PB was a sportcar prototype Racing car of the early 1970s Regularly partnered with Jacky Ickx, the pairing took second place in the BOAC 1000 km at Brands Hatch in 1971, and won the first heat during the Imola 500 km.

The high point of the season came when the Regazzoni/Ickx partnership won the Monza 1000 km race. [4]
With his departure from Ferrari during 1973, Regazzoni's sports car results dried up. His uncompetitive Alfa Romeo 33 TT was thoroughly outclassed by the Ferrari and Matra opposition. The Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 was a sports racing Prototype raced by the Alfa Romeo Works team between 1967 and 1977 At the end of 1973 Ferrari withdrew from sports car racing, and Regazzoni's move to rejoin the Ferrari Formula One team in 1974 effectively ended his sports car career, as he could not then race for other manufacturers.

Lacking an offer for a competitive drive in 1980, Regazzoni re-joined Ensign. The 1980 Formula One season included the 31st FIA Formula One World Championship season which commenced on January 13, 1980, and ended on His season came to an abrupt end only four races into the year. He crashed during the 1980 United States Grand Prix West, held at Long Beach, when the brake pedal of his Ensign failed at the end of a long, high-speed straight travelling at approximately 280 km/h. The 1980 United States Grand Prix West was a Formula One race held on March 30, 1980 at Long Beach California. Long Beach is a city located in southern California, USA, on the Pacific coast Ricardo Zuniño's retired Brabham was parked in the escape road. Ricardo Zunino (born April 13, 1949 in San Juan) is a former Racing driver from Argentina who participated in Formula One Regazzoni later recalled, "I hit [Zuniño's car], then bounced into the barrier. For about 10 minutes I lost consciousness. Then I remember terrible pain in my hips. . . ". [10] The crash left Regazzoni paralyzed from the waist down, ending his competitive career. On recovery, Regazzoni sued the race organisers, claiming their safety procedures were sub-standard. The race organisers won the case. [5]
After Formula One
After this accident, Regazzoni became known for his activities in helping disabled people get equal opportunities in life and society. Despite his disability, Regazzoni was determined to live as full a life as possible and his rehabilitation became an inspirational story.
Regazzoni won back his racing license and became one of the first disabled persons to participate in high-level motor sports. Although his injuries made an F1 return impossible, Regazzoni raced with some success in rally raids (e. g. the Dakar Rally) and sportscars (e. The Dakar Rally (or simply " The Dakar " formerly known as "The Paris Dakar" or "Paris to Dakar Rally" and now as "The Lisboa Dakar" is g. the 12 Hours of Sebring). These achievements paved the way for the wider acceptance of disabled persons in motoring and motorsports. Regazzoni's last competitive race was in 1990, although he was occasionally offered test drives in racing cars during the 1990s. In 1994, he returned to the Long Beach Grand Prix (at that point an IndyCar race) to compete as a Pro in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race.
An account of his life can be found in his autobiography È questione di cuore ("It's a Matter of Heart") published in the mid-1980s. His post-Formula One career occasionally saw him as a commentator for Swiss and Italian television.
In later years he became highly scathing with regard to the contemporary attitudes and racing within Formula One. He is reported to have remarked that "it concerns only the money, and no longer the sport", attitudes completely at odds to Regazzoni's own. He once commented to Niki Lauda, at the time his team mate and junior by ten years, that "if you block cars and drive like a woman, you will never become great". Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda (born February 22, 1949 in Vienna) is an Austrian Aviator, Entrepreneur [12]
