Some side notes. Ferrari was a mechanic of the Alfa Romeo racing team. Then he founded his factory and his car won the second race he participated to.
The horse on the logo was of the Italian WWI Ace Francesco Baracca and was donated to Enzo by the ace's wife.
Lamborghini was a client of Ferrari. An agricultural tractors builder. After he destroyed the engine of a couple of Ferraris he said those cars were no good while Enzo told he wasn't able to drive them. So he started to build cars too to show how to make proper cars :)
Good stuff. However, let us not forget that the cars in the main picture, are not really Ferraris; They are Lancia D50s if l am not mistaken. Ferrari took over the Lancia F1 cars.
