		In calm, "Gigi" Villoresi rests in his Maserati previous to the start of the second race.
		After a few laps, Villoresi and Varzi were showing their class to the crowds, and their driving talent could not be mistaken.
		But it seemed this time that the luck was not with “Gigi”, as on Sunday his Maserati had cooling troubles, and his mechanics started the car when all the rest of the cars were ready to roll.

	8W - Who? - Alberto Ascari
		Enzo refused, and for a long time Villoresi did not have a high esteem for the man. A couple of months after "Gigi" was approached by a young racer wanting to buy an Alfa Romeo.
		Villoresi on his part completely overcame his gripe against Ferrari after having taken up the invitation to race Ferraris in Brussels and Luxembourg.
		From that moment on, Villoresi and Ascari teamed up with Ferrari and Lampredi and raced their cars for the next five years, with striking results.

	Villoresi Il Gigi Nazionale book
		But the motor racing career of Italy's "National Gigi" as his country affectionately dubbed him, spans three decades, from the 1931 Coppa Invernale delle Alpi to the 1958 Acropolis Rally.
		The ability of an authentic champion, generous and versatile like few others, came out in every branch of the sport in which Villoresi competed, from the Mille Miglia to the Giro di Sicilia, from the Targa Florio to the period's track races.
		The book's author, interviewed Villoresi many times - the last occasion was a few months before the driver died - and has conducted an exhaustive investigation into his personal archives.

	8W - When? - Racing in the 40s
		Gigi was born in a well-known family in Milan, the grandson of the famous builder of a system of large irrigation canals in the western part of Lombardia, one of which is still called Canale Villoresi.
		Villoresi is one of the drivers who scored the highest number of victories in history.
		Villoresi was lapping consistently at between 1’45" and 1’46", in the situation that he loved best, the need to pick up speed in the last part of a race.

	8W - When? - Racing in the 40s
		Villoresi was not signalled that he was expected to refuel by lap 18, was sent on to another lap and ran out of fuel a long way from the pits.
		Villoresi was in great form as he had shown in the previous races and took immediately the lead after starting from pole.
		Gigi Villoresi was supposed to drive it with #75 in the race, but did not start for unknown reason.

	theprancinghorse.co.uk - Alberto Ascari
		Accordingly Alberto together with friend and mentor Luigi Villoresi were released by Lancia to drive 250F Maseratis to meet this threat to Italian supremacy.
		Although all 3 Lancias retired in the Argentinean GP of 16 January 1955, the D50s won two minor F1 races and with the powerful team of Italians, Ascari, Gigi Villoresi, and young Eugenio Castellotti, Lancia was well placed to take on and even beat the hitherto all-conquering Germans.
		Ascari and Villoresi raced successfully on the tracks of Northern Italy, and the Milanese crowd bestowed the nickname "Ciccio" meaning "Tubby" on Alberto.

	The Maserati Tipo 4CM
		Most of the efforts were put into the other team cars, Lurani's 1500 not being taken too seriously, so he had to start the race on what tyres were left over, and pulling the wrong axle ratio and so on.
		He drove round disconsolately in 6th place until he was due to stop and refuel, and then feeling a bit fed up with it all he handed the car over to Luigi Villoresi, whose six-cylinder had blown up.
		Villoresi stormed back into the race and drove really hard, working his way up to third place by the finish, being beaten by Lord Howe (ERA) and Taruffi (Maserati).

		Villoresi was left in the dust of his competitors only to make a valiant attempt back to the lead.
		Eugenio Castellotti's Lancia shared the second row with Jean Behra's Maserati while Roberto Mieres and Luigi Musso were split by Gigi Villoresi's Lancia on row three.

	Giorgio NADA Editore - the italian publisher leader in motorbooks
		For them, Luigi Villoresi (1909-1997) is almost a nobody, but the motor racing career of Italy’s “National Gigi” as his country affectionately dubbed him, spans three decades, from the 1931 Coppa Invernale delle Alpi to the 1958 Acropolis Rally.
		The abilities of this authentic champion were evident in every branch of the sport in which Villoresi competed, from the Mille Miglia to the Giro di Sicilia, from the Targa Florio to the period’s track races.
		The book’s author, Cesare De Agostini, was granted access to Villoresi’s personal archives and interviewed him many times — the last occasion just a few months prior to his death.

	The Maserati A6
		The same can be said of another model constructed some months later and driven by 'Gigi' Villoresi in a few races without much success.
		The first outing of the 'A6GCS' was at Modena on 28th September 1947, piloted by Villoresi and Alberto Ascari, a young driver from Milan in the early stages of a distinguished career.
		The race was marred by trajedy when the Delage of Giovanni Bracco lost control and careered into the crowd, killing five spectators and injuring several others.
