 | | Phil Hill, America's first World Champion Grand Prix racer, driving for Ferrari in 1961, obviously didn't begin his career as a front line driver for Enzo, rather he worked his way into the sport, starting at the very bottom, as a mechanic. |
 | | Phil grew up in Santa Monica, California with a great sense of racing history, as that town on the western edge of Los Angeles, was the site of some of America's greatest road racing during the early 1900s. |
 | | Phil's passion for racing and fine machinery began on the dry lakes and midget racing ovals of Southern California, where he was exposed to engines and cars of every type, as well as the fantastically interesting and diverse personalities that defined and sustained the sport. |
