About Giulio Cabianca
Lived 1923 – 1961 (aged 38). Giulio Cabianca was an Italian engineer, formula One driver and racing automobile driver.
Giulio Cabianca (19 February 1923 – 15 June 1961) was a Formula One driver from Italy.
Cabianca was born in Verona, northern Italy. He participated in 4 World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 18 May 1958. He scored a total of three championship points. He also participated in one non-Championship Formula One race. He also won the Dolomites Gold Cup Race in 1955.
Cabianca's death resulted from a bizarre incident at the Modena Autodrome test track in Italy. The Modena Autodrome was situated near Via Emilia, which crosses the city of Modena. Cabianca was testing a Cooper-Ferrari F1 car, owned by Scuderia Castellotti, when he suffered a suspected gearbox failure. Unable to stop, his Cooper went off track, struck a spectator and then went through the gate of the Autodrome which was open because of men at work near the track. The car crossed the Via Emilia, collided with several vehicles, then crashed against the wall of a coachbuilder shop. Cabianca was killed, as were a minivan driver, a motorcycle rider, and a bicyclist.
