Ferrari in America: Luigi Chinetti and the North American Racing Team. Limited Availability. Award winning author Michael Lynch’s romp of a tale chronicles Luigi Chinetti’s fascinating journey in bringing the grand Ferrari marque to America and explores the legacy of his North American Racing Team (NART), a cornerstone of international sports car racing in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. This story, however, is far more than Chinetti’s influence on Ferrari coming to America, or even his NART racing team. This story shares the challenges Chinetti faced, and overcame, and the unique people he met along the way. In time, Chinetti became the sole American importer for Ferrari. Being at the nexus of trade for such exquisite objects of desire meant that Chinetti sought, and was sought after by elite clientele. The book was published by David Bull Publishing and is also available for purchase on Amazon.
