Umberto Maglioli Career
Giovanni Bracco introduced him to racing, and he accompanied him on multiple Mille Miglia and Targa Florios. In 1953, he won the Targa (alone) in a Lancia D20 and the Pescara 12hr race in a Ferrari 375 MM alongside Mike Hawthorn. In 1954 Maglioli won the final Carrera Panamericana while piloting a Ferrari 375 Plus. The same year, he won the 1000-kilometer Buenos Aires race (with Giuseppe Farina) and the 1000-kilometer Supercortemaggiore at Monza, again with Hawthorn.
In 1956, he joined Porsche and won the Targa Florio again. In 1957, Porsche entered two 550RSs in the German Grand Prix, one driven by Giancarlo Maglioli and the other by Edgar Barth, in line with regulations allowing F2 cars to participate. Maglioli still needs to complete the race. He ruined his Porsche during the Gaisburg hillclimb in Austria later that year. In a Salzburg hospital, he recovered from leg injuries so severe that physicians initially feared he might never walk again. In 1964, he won the Sebring 12 Hours for Ferrari, and in 1968, he won the Targa with Vic Elford in a works Porsche 907. In 1970, Maglioli withdrew from racing.
