Attilio Luigi Antonio Bettega (19 February 1953 – 2 May 1985)[1] was an Italian rally driver.

In Corsica, on the fourth stage of the rally, Zerubia, Bettega lost control of his Lancia and crashed into a tree which ruptured into the driver's seat and killed him instantly.

Bettega's death caused the safety of Group B cars to be called into question.

One year later his former teammate Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto with the Lancia Delta S4 #4 (same number as Bettega's car) died in an accident at the same event, causing the ban on Group B.
