Title:
Simca Huit Gordini
Description:
Gordini-Scaron Le Mans 1939. Brilliant driver Amédée Gordini (1899-1979) was also a mechanical genius and his talents earned him the nickname ”Sorcier” (sorcerer). In the mid-thirties, his story is first of all related to Simca, who at that time were the French subsidiary of Fiat. He began a project to transform the Simca Huit (based on the Fiat 1100) into a race car that made its debut in 1938. It made its first appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans that year, with a ninth place finish. Six Simca Huit were entered in 1939. To give him his due, Amédée Gordini with José Scaron, was the first of the eight Simca entered (including two Simca Cinq) and finished tenth overall.
