Driving for [[Scuderia Maremmana]] in 1950, he finished in second place. This prompted [[Alfa Romeo]] to offer him a drive for the remaining European season. He competed in the Belgian and French Grands Prix, without success. The next year, he again competed at Indianapolis for Alfa Romeo, where he finished fourth. He retired from racing soon thereafter.
