See also Enzo Ferrari for the founder's life story Ferrari general information on the Ferrari automobile company Ferrari prepared and successfully raced various drivers in Alfa Romeo cars until 1938, when he was officially hired by Alfa to head their racing department. During its history Alfa Romeo has competed successfully in many different categories of motorsport, including Formula One, Sportscar racing, Touring

Fascism is a totalitarian nationalist and corporatist ideology The Axis powers also known as the Axis alliance Axis nations Axis countries or sometimes just the Axis were those Countries Enzo Ferrari's division was small enough to be unaffected by this.

The Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 was the first Ferrari car that was fully designed and built by Enzo Ferrari Also known as SEFAC (Scuderia Enzo Ferrari Auto Corse), Ferrari did in fact produce one race car, the Tipo 815, in the non-competition period.

On June 17, 1923, Enzo Ferrari won a race at the Savio track in Ravenna where he met the Countess Paolina, mother of Count Francesco Baracca, an ace of the Italian air force and national hero of World War I, who used to paint a horse on the side of his planes.

The original "prancing horse" on Baracca's airplane was painted in red on a white cloud-like shape, but Ferrari chose to have the horse in black (as it had been painted as a sign of grief on Baracca's squadron planes after the pilot was killed in action) and he added a canary yellow background as this is the color of the city of Modena, his birthplace.
