It's Lella Lombardi.

There's more info about her on the net than you can shake a stick at. Try here to begin your reading.



This was her ride:



She came out for the Luigi Team in Division 2 of the ETCC

That car is now owned by Ron Simons in the Netherlands and is still raced.

In the sixties and seventies we had Christine Beckers on GTA

@Kroehl : the Lombardi GTV6 and the RS GTV6 are not tesame .
The RS car is a Luigi prepared car from the ' 85 ETCC sezon !
The picture from the Alpilatta GTV6 is taken at Silverstone , pilots were Lombardi / Palma .
The first Alpilatte GTV6 was driven by Lella Lombardi and Anna Cambiaghi , another woman
It was Cambiaghi who wrecked this car at Brno , a couple of races before Silverstone .

@Giulia Bianca : Christine also raced in the Tipo 33

@GTVke: My bad. However, the RS GTV6 was driven by Lella too, but then later on(?).

The RS GTV6 is a real brutal monster btw. I remember going to my first SS and walking onto the paddock admiring the long lineup of 105 GTs when, off to the side, a mighty engine roar could be heard. As i walked closer to the blue GTV6 with the stickers, the sound would reverberate in my abdomen and when standing next to the car you had to cover your ears. It was that loud.

In one word: Fantastic.

Too bad that Ron decided that he wouldn't race it in the Challenge anymore because of the constant revisions of eligiblility and rules to accomodate newer, faster and un-original cars prepared, in some cases, by megaEuro (or Euro Magnum?) teams. Now that they allowed the ex-Cup racers and 147 GTAs I find the series a bit of a joke.
