Borzacchini's success ultimately led to an offer to join the Maserati racing team and driving for them, he won the 1927 "Terni-Passo della Somma" and the "Coppa della Collina Pistoiese." In 1928 he drove a Maserati to first place in the "Coppa Gallenga" hillclimb at Rocca di Papa.
Baconin Borzacchini was vying with his team-mate Giuseppe Campari for the lead when Campari's vehicle skidded in a sharp turn on a patch of leaked engine oil and crashed, killing him instantly.

Nuvolari was now ahead of Borzacchini and it seemed that no-one else was in with a chance although, with 10 laps to go, Varzi began to charge.
Varzi and Nuvolari were already rich men from their racing exploits, but for Borzacchini the money gained by the rigging of the race was something he had never experienced.
Ironically, as Borzacchini's car was flipping, Campari arrived at the scene, swerved to avoid his friend, and went off the track into the trees.

 8W - When? - 1933 Monza GP
Baconin Borzacchini was born in Terni on 28 September 1899.
Borzacchini was one of the drivers who had earned a part of the lottery money in the controversial 1933 Tripoli race.
Actually Borzacchini was very happy with the Tripoli solution, as he, compared to most of the drivers, was a poor man and the money made him able to give his wife and kids a decent life.

As a result the Ferrari drivers struggled to be competitive with the Maserati and Bugatti teams and this came to a head just before the Belgian GP in July when Ferrari's star driver Tazio Nuvolari and his close friend Baconin Borzacchini quit to join Maserati.
This promised to be a showdown between Campari's Alfa P3 and Borzacchini's Maserati 8C 3000.
Unable to see, he crashed - at the same spot where Campari and Borzacchini had met their fates - and the Polish count was burned to death in the accident which followed.

Works Maseratis were raced by Borzacchini and Archangeli, the former with the big 4-litre "Sedici Cilindri", not exactly an ideal car for Monaco, and the latter in a 2-litre Tipo 26B.
This was the era before qualifying for positions and the ballot put Borzacchini, Bowes and "Williams" in the front row.
Borzacchini held fourth place for some time before both he and Archangeli had to retire because of technical troubles.

Alfa Romeo's 8C 2300 proved to be the top car on the international scene and for the Mille Miglia the factory had cars for Caracciola, Borzacchini, Campari and Nuvolari.
Campari was not amused and went after the smaller co-driver but considering the fact that the other leading drivers took sole possession of their steering wheels who had he really to blame?
When Caracciola retired with a cracked chassis the race was left to Borzacchini followed by Trossi and Scarfiotti.

It should be noted that Alfieri Maserati himself entered a 16-cylinder Maserati for European Grand Prix star Baconin Borzacchini in the 1930 Indy 500, but it was out after seven laps with magneto problems.
The other Maserati in the 1930 race was an eight-cylinder car, privately-entered and driven by Letterio Cucinotta, and it did better than the factory team and finished 12th, albeit 15 laps down.

Giuseppe Campari and Baconin Borzacchini were killed in an accident at the Curva Sud of the high speed oval track during one of the qualifying heats of the Gran Premio di Monza, and Stanislaus Czaykowski would lose his life on the same spot during the final heat.
After much debate a judge would order the destruction of the circuito sopraelevato "since the track is to dangerous because of the speed reached by the cars".
