Drove in the Dywa Grand Prix Series

Luciano Sighinolfi (born 10th December, 1951 in Ragusa, Sicily) is an Italian former racing driver best known for competing in the Dywa Grand Prix Series.

Early life

Luciano Sighinolfi never met his father, who was never in a relationship with his mother but was rumoured to be a racing driver who met his mother the night after winning a motor race of some kind, although there was never any way to confirm this rumour for certain. Regardless, Sighinolfi was inspired by his own purported origin story and from an early age he dreamed of becoming a racing driver. He took little interest in anything else, and never worked a full-time job. This paid off in 1974, when he had a significant Lotto win.

Early career

Sighinolfi spent several years toiling in Italian F3.

After an inauspicious start to his Italian Formula Three career (with a couple of DNFs and a DNQ in 1970), Sighinolfi took several years to progress gradually towards the front of the grid. The real breakthrough came when he started his own racing team using his winnings from the Italian Lotto in July 1974; this allowed him to compete in every race and to generally be far more competitive. In his Formula Three career, he achieved one race win at Varano in 1976 and four other podium finishes. This was not enough to persuade Marlboro to sponsor him, and therefore he was not able to progress to a higher rung on the ladder that led to Formula One.

Dywa GP

In 1978, Sighinolfi's chance to drive a Formula One car finally came when the Dywa Grand Prix Series was founded by Dydo Monguzzi with the backing of Renzo Engineering. He used what was left of his Lotto money to create Scuderia Sighinolfi, for which he would be the owner-driver and for which he sold the second seat to Irish Formula Atlantic washout Kelby Rogerson.
