N.A.R.T.

Ferrari’S American Racing Legacy
Motorsport fans know the name N.A.R.T., but few know its story. Founded in the late 1950s, the North American Racing Team competed for over three decades, achieving success on both sides of the Atlantic despite constant financial and logistical challenges. Driven by the determination of Luigi Chinetti, NART became a legendary underdog in racing.
Most motorsport fans will recognise the acronym N.A.R.T. – but far fewer know the remarkable story behind the North American Racing Team.Founded in the late 1950s, NART carved out a unique place in racing history over three decades of competition. From the great circuits of America to the most prestigious European tracks, the team achieved notable successes while constantly battling financial strain, logistical challenges, and frequent clashes with race organisers.This book reveals the full story: how NART was created, how it operated, and what it accomplished against the odds. Far from being limited to sports car racing, NART also fielded entries in Formula One and Formula Junior, demonstrating an ambition that stretched well beyond its resources.At the heart of it all was Luigi Chinetti – a determined and resourceful team owner who, unlike many of his rivals, rarely enjoyed financial security. Through shrewd deals with Ferrari, Chinetti acquired top-specification cars at the end of each season, using them to attract elite drivers and offering flexible, race-by-race leasing arrangements that appealed to a select clientele.Yet success never came easily. With a small workforce, delayed parts from Ferrari, and constant pressure to perform, NART often operated on the brink of crisis. And still, it endured.Against all odds, Chinetti’s unconventional formula worked. N.A.R.T. not only survived – it became a legend.
