1960 Pescara Grand Prix: Denny Hulme’s Forgotten Victory

Revisiting the XXVI Gran Premio di Pescara

In the long staircase of world motorsport, it is common for us to focus mainly on the greatest successes of drivers in the main categories. If a driver manages to arrive and establish himself in Formula 1, his greatest legacy will certainly be due to his performance in this category. The same case happens in endurance, when success in IMSA and WEC are those watersheds in any driver’s career.

Perhaps it will be forgotten, however, that most pilots have a journey behind them, followed by different paths that took them to the pinnacle of their careers. Today, due to the expansion of the media, which provides motorsport lovers with the possibility of seeing the most diverse modalities and categories of the sport, this can be mitigated to a certain extent – ​​for example,  through live streams in television or internet, one can not only watch the F1, but F2, F3, the Macau and Pau GPs; information that 40 years ago depended on a monthly magazine report for you to find out about.
