 | | A racing driver and journalist, it was Count Giovanni Lurani that noticed the growing shortage of top quality Italian pilots, a problem he figured was due to the national championship system and spiralling cost of competing in single seaters. |
 | | Fangio and his manager, Marcello Giambertone, worked hard with Stanguellini to have Lurani’s concept approved by the Italian Automobile Club and once that was taken care of, Fangio’s association with Stanguellini led to the Argentinean testing the little FJ prototype (chassis 04087) at Modena’s Autodrome in late 1957. |
 | | By the summer of 1958, Stanguellini had already produced a handful of their quick Junior racers and for 1959, the series was granted full international status. |
