Starting at the Targa

Here is one of the favorites about to start the famous Targa Florio, this being the 44th Targa, in the town of Cerda in Sicily on May 8,1960. This car is a Maserati T61 entered by the American Camoradi USA team with full backing from Maserati, including their famed mechanic Guerino Bertocchi, which is to be driven by Umberto Maglioli (seen in the car here) and Targa specialist Nino Vaccarella.…

"The Miracle"

It’s the Untold story of how a Mexican mechanic saved Ferrari.

In 1950, the Pan American Race emerged. One of the most demanding endurance races in history that tested the best cars and the most experienced and daring drivers of the time.

Umberto Maglioli in his Ferrari 375 Plus was leading the fourth and final stage of the race. Shortly before finishing stage four, his car began to fail. His Ferrari 375 Plus had an oil leak through a hole in the carter.

In the middle of nowhere and without a spare part for this vital part of the car, hopes of finishing the race were practically nil.

On the fifth leg of the race and when the car was practically about to stop working, Umberto Maglioli made a stop in the middle of the road when he saw a small workshop called “El Milagro”.

Maglioli was received by Renato Martinez who was the owner and sole mechanic of the workshop in the middle of nowhere. Renato Martinez confirmed to Maglioli that it was in fact an oil leak in the crankcase and that he had a "creative" solution to repair it in moments. At least to be able to finish their journey.

Renato Martinez caught a bucket and a big bar of soap. He also took three small bottles of Coca-Cola and gave them to Maglioli saying, "While you drink this Coke I will repair your car."

An Unbeliever Maglioli could only sit, drink the coke and wait for a miracle. Meanwhile, Renato Martinez dismantled the Ferrari and using the bar of soap began to gradually rub the carter with it. By friction the soap melted and created a paste that sealed the leak hole. Soap "cuts" the oil and adheres to the metal in the crankcase and when solidified it became hard as a rock.

Amazed, Maglioli thanked Renato and pulled out of Ferrari a small Roliflex camera which he used to capture that miraculous moment. Workshop "El Milagro" and Renato next to the Ferrari 375 Plus under repair were immortalized.

Umberto Maglioli in his Ferrari 375 Plus, finished the fifth stage of the race in first place and changed Ferrari history forever.

While Ferrari was a well-known car in Europe, it wasn’t in America and the brand was far from being an economically viable business. Ferrari desperately needed to prove to America that their cars were superior, fast and reliable. Winning the race would bring them recognition and with its sales in the United States, which would help them save the brand from bankruptcy.

Some time later, Renato Martinez received by mail the printed photograph Maglioli had taken of that moment. The photograph was signed:

"To my friend Renato M. From Umberto Maglioli. "

The photograph came along with a letter thanking Renato and said: "Renato, The Mexican Miracle that helped Ferrari."

That letter was signed by a man named Enzo Ferrari.

From Facebook "Amazing World and Beyond" 9/27/24

This Mexican mechanic saved the Ferrari 375 at the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana which was one of the most demanding endurance races in history.

Umberto Maglioli was leading the fourth stage of the race in his Ferrari 375 before his engine started to leak oil through the crankcase. He had to stop in the middle of nowhere without any technical support for his car. His chances of finishing the race were near-zero.

Maglioli was lucky enough to stop beside a small workshop called “El Milagro” where he met Mexican mechanic Renato Martinez. Renato confirmed the oil leak and was able to provide Maglioli with a temporary solution:

He grabbed a bucket and a big bar of soap while he gave Maglioli three bottles of Coke and said "While you drink your Coke I will repair your car."

Martinez started to rub the bar of soap onto the crankcase. The soap melted and created a paste that sealed the leak hole. Soap cuts through the oil film and adheres to the metal in the crankcase.

Amazed by Martinez ingenuity Maglioli pulls out a small Rolleiflex camera to capture the moment and to immortalise Renato and his "El Milagro" garage. Umberto Maglioli finished the race in the first place.

After the race, Martinez was mailed the photograph Maglioli had taken and it read "Renato, The Mexican Miracle that helped Ferrari." signed by a man named Enzo Ferrari.

Ferrari 375MM: tra i pochi eletti

Fahrer Umberto Maglioli führte die vierte Etappe des Rennens in seinem Ferrari 375 an, bevor sein Motor anfing, Öl durch das Kurbelgehäuse zu verlieren. Er musste mitten im Nirgendwo ohne technische Unterstützung für sein Auto anhalten. Seine Chancen, das Rennen zu beenden, waren nahe null.

Maglioli hatte das Glück, neben einer kleinen Werkstatt namens „El Milagro“ anzuhalten, wo er den mexikanischen Mechaniker Renato Martinez traf. Renato bestätigte das Ölleck und konnte Maglioli eine vorübergehende Lösung anbieten:

Er schnappte sich einen Eimer und ein grosses Stück Seife, während er Maglioli drei Flaschen Cola gab und sagte: „Während du deine Cola trinkst, werde ich dein Auto reparieren.“

Martinez begann, das Stück Seife auf das Kurbelgehäuse zu reiben. Die Seife schmolz und bildete eine Paste, die das Leck versiegelte. Seife durchschneidet den Ölfilm und haftet am Metall am Kurbelgehäuse.

Erstaunt über den Einfallsreichtum von Martinez zückt Maglioli eine kleine Rolleiflex-Kamera, um den Moment festzuhalten und Renato sowie seine „El Milagro“-Garage zu verewigen. Umberto Maglioli beendete das Rennen auf dem ersten Platz.

Nach dem Rennen wurde Martinez das Foto zugeschickt, das Maglioli gemacht hatte, und es lautete "Renato, das mexikanische Wunder, das Ferrari geholfen hat”, unterzeichnet von einem Mann namens Enzo Ferrari.

Reading through the book Mon Ami Mate about Mike Hawthorn & Peter Collins, I'm learning that something must have happened in Mike's childhood that made him never want to be alone. Perhaps his parent's nasty divorce, as they were both often out of the house, so young Mike Hawthorn moved into his best friend's house and slept on the floor in his bedroom. Then he moved in with his mum at her new place and, unusually for the 50s, lived with his mum till he passed away at 29. Even when he had to live in Italy briefly, he moved in and lived with Umberto Maglioli and his family. And, of course, during races, he'd stay in his hotel room at night and then, in the morning, instantly head over to Peter and Louise's room and spend his spare time hanging around with them. He really could not be on his own.
