Andrea de Adamich was born in Trieste on 13 October 1941. He raced in Formula 1, the  World Sportscar Championship and the European Touring Car Championship between 1962 and 1974. He is remembered for having competitively raced in Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, McLaren, March, Brabham and Surtees cars.
After establishing himself as a journalist specialising in the auto field, in 1979 de Adamich came back into the Formula 1 fold and hosted a television programme entitled Grand Prix - one that continues to be broadcast today.

 Ivan Capelli was born in Milan on 24 May 1963. This loyal and determined driver was involved in kart racing from 1978 to the early 1980s. In 1982 he switched to Formula 3 and drove for March and in 1983 signed for Coloni and won the Italian Championship, crushing his adversaries with nine victories.

The following year the driver from Lombardy and Coloni decided to enter the European Formula 3 Championship; a wise move as Ivan Capelli ended the season as champion. In 1985, after a brief foray in F1 with Tyrrell at the European Grand Prix and after an amazing fourth place in Australia after only two Grand Prix, Capelli returned to Formula 3000. In 1986, despite tough competition, he beat all-comers and won the title.

Finally, in 1987, he made his full entry into Formula 1 in a Leyton House-Judd of the March team. With this team he enjoyed his most competitive years. In 1992 he raced for Ferrari with whom he finished fifth in Brazil and sixth in Hungary. In 1993 he moved on to Jordan, but after only one race he pulled out of the contract and called time on his career. In 2003 he raced, as a guest, in some Trofeo Vodafone Maserati races (Silverstone, Monza, Mugello and the Bologna Motor Show). He is currently a Formula 1 Grand Prix technical commentator on Italian state TV, and is Director of the Master Maserati driving courses.

Domenico Schiattarella won Formula 2000's Italian Championship in 1987.
In 1991 he was runner-up, racing alongside Luca Badoer and Jacques Villeneuve.
After two years partly in Formula Indy and partly racing for Team Symtech in the Formula 1 World Championship, he won the Le Mans 24 Hours. In 1997 he appeared for Team Benetton Lotus in the FIA GT World Championship, a series he also participated in between 1999 and 2001. He raced in the FIA GT championship between 1997 and 2001.

Alessandro Fiorio, known as Alex, was born in Turin on 10 March 1965. He made his racing debut in 1985 in a Fiat Uno. At only 22 years of age, in 1987, he won the World Championship Group Gr.N at the wheel of a Lancia. In 1988-89 he came third and second overall, respectively, in the World Rally championship. He competed in the series until 1995, first in a Lancia and then a Ford, obtaining sensational results: 3 wins, 9 seconds positions, 4 thirds, 4 fourths and 3 fifths. He amassed 241 World Rally points.

His first track appearance came at Monza in 1981 when he raced in the Renault Cup. Having secured a string of good results, he made the switch to rallying where his skills as a driver were even more evident.
1986 was the year he came of age when his Fiat Uno Trofeo won the championship. In 1988 he disputed the Gr.N European Championship at the wheel of a Lancia Delta Integrale and, in 1991, won the European Championship in a Delta 16V. He became an official Subaru driver in 1996 and competed in the entire World Championship season, collecting a fine series of results along the way. A year on, he won the Rally of Monte Carlo and finished 5th overall.

Andrea Piccini raced in the Formula Europa Boxter Italian championship in 1995.
The following year he competed in the Formula Opel Lotus German Championship. He also took the ‘Surprise of the season’ award. His results saw him move onto the European stage in the same category where he raced between 1997-98.
Between 1999-2001 he raced in the Formula 3000 International Championship, and, shortly after, became the European Test Driver for the Minardi Formula 1 team.
In 2002, with four wins, he was the FIA GT World Championship driver with the most victories. He was the runner-up in the series in 2006. In 2007, he shared the drive in a Maserati MC12 with Andrea Bertolini.
