Ascari is a British sports car manufacturer, named after Alberto Ascari (1918-1955). He was the first double world Formula 1 Champion, driving for the 'Enzo-Ferrari' team. Ascari died in 1955, testing a Ferrari at Monza. (Chicane Variante Ascari)
Strange detail, his father also died in a carcrash, also when he was 36, and also four days after surviving a terrible crash. They both won 13 championship GrandPrix and both drove car number 26.
Ascari was a very superstitious man. He always wore his pale blue helmet. On the day of he crash, he used a white helmet... Wrong choice...
