Enzo Ferrari's obsession with automobile racing was born with the auto industry, at the beginning of the 20th century. After his father took him to an early race, nothing would stop him--not the tragic deaths of his brother and his son, nor the scandals of love affairs and the multiple deaths of both drivers and spectators on the race course. Enzo Ferrari built a brand that stands alone today--that still dominates auto races at the same time it is unique in the world in terms of quality and reputation. Ferrari's story is one of a double life and personal tragedy at home, contrasted with a nearly blind desire to win.
