 Mauro Forghieri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The son of a Modena patternmaker who worked with Ferrari in the late 1930s on the Alfa Romeo 158 project, Mauro Forghieri was brought up in the town before going to Bologna University to study mechanical engineering.
His father suggested to Enzo Ferrari that he hire the youngster and so Mauro took up the offer of a position at Ferrari in 1960.
Forghieri designed both cars and engines for Ferrari beginning with a reworked version of Carlo Chiti's 156.

Famed former Ferrari Formula 1 designer Mauro Forghieri could become the latest technical figure to switch his attention to the increasingly popular MotoGP series, with speculation suggesting he could be behind a bid by BMW to enter the category.

Forghieri shot to fame in the 1960's when Enzo Ferrari put him in change of designing the team's car and engine following a walkout of personnel.

Forghieri produced an 80-degree V12 engine, and during the course of 1988 it was announced that the Larrousse team would have exclusive use of the motor for 1989.
Forghieri and Mario Tolentino set about penning a prototype, and by the summer of 1990 it was ready for testing, only for Luna to disappear with his money.

Forghieri era hijo de un matricero, Reclüs Forghieri, empleado de Enzo Ferrari desde su época en Alfa.
Forghieri se había inspirado en su propio 12 cilindros planos de litro y medio de 1966 para hacer un motor muy robusto y compacto.

The organisation of Steineman's racing division was at all points superior to the organisation of Mauro Forghieri at SpA SEFAC.
When Forghieri sees that Pedro is a half second per lap faster than Vaccarella, he should have decided to call the #3 in for a driver's change, especially since the ultra fast F1 racer Chris Amon is free.
However once more the race is lost due to the nonchalant behaviour of Forghieri's race direction.
