Text in English and Italian. At a race now lost in the exhausts of time, a young woman was inspired to shelter her favourite driver with her umbrella, and an idea was born. A young woman could always be at the ready with an umbrella. This book reveals the evolving styles in clothes that paralleled three decades of technological developments in auto racing. We leave it for the reader to decide what inspirers the magic of winning and how the ubiquitous umbrella girl may play a role in realising that success.
