Enzo Osella

Vincenzo "Enzo" Osella (born 26 August 1939) is an Italian former racing driver and team owner.

He then purchased a Lotus 11, which he modified according to his own wishes and equipped with an Osca engine and an Alfa Romeo differential, and took part in hillclimb races.

The experience gave Osella the opportunity to earn insight into chassis and engine production and tuning aspects.

The Osella team participated in 132 Grands Prix, achieving three top-six finishes and scoring five world championship points.

In 1990 Osella retired from Formula One and relocated his team to Verolengo, in the Turin metropolitan area, to focus again on sports car and hillclimb races.
