About me

I was born in Argentina where car racing is the most popular sport…… after Football, of course.
And within Car Racing, Formula 1 is at the top of the list. It is not a surprise, as from the first Drivers Championship in 1950, Argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio was the most successful driver in those first years.
And within Formular 1, due to the great immigration of Italians in the 19th Century, Ferrari is a Passion.
As the great grandson of an Italian, I ,Carlos Fornari, am not an exception.

In 1971, at the age of 11 I discovered my father's collage of Fangio’s surrounded by all names of the races he won in 1950 with Alfa Romeo (I still have it). My father told me about Fangio, and I started reading about his career and how he had become an international legend…and about Froilan Gonzalez as well. 
Soon after in 1972, I started to follow F1 races. Although Carlos Reutemann, Argentinian, started racing in F1 with Brabham, the magic happened as Enzo had once said: "ask a child to draw a car and he will paint it red", the red cars took my attention, even more when I learnt it was the only Italian team amongst several British teams, my family comes originally from Italy.
But it was when attending my first GP in Argentina in 1974 that the passion was ignited: I saw the red cars racing live and Lauda and Regazzoni were 2 & 3 in that race.
And since them I became a TIFOSO DELLA SCUDERIA
