Mario Andretti

From childhood in Montona, now Motovun in Croatia, to a new life in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Mario Andretti’s story crosses countries and racing disciplines. His family moved to the United States in 1955, and he and his twin brother Aldo began building their racing careers on local tracks.

Italian-American racing driver Mario Andretti, born in 1940, is celebrated for his extraordinary versatility, speed and success across different forms of motorsport. He won the 1978 Formula One drivers’ world championship with Lotus, the 1969 Indianapolis 500 and the 1967 Daytona 500. He also claimed four American national open-wheel championships, in 1965, 1966, 1969 and 1984, and achieved 12 Formula One Grand Prix victories. His ability to win in single-seaters, stock cars and sports cars made him one of racing’s most accomplished all-round drivers.
