PIETRO RADDI
Driving Trainer

His History:

Born in Rome, he studied Economy and Mechanical Engineering in a scientific school. At 15 was sailing. With 21 he started racing: 30 races “hill climb” and circuit, winning 15 races of 30 (50 %).

At 24 he received an offer to be official driver, for the Italian Championship in Tourism class with an Alfa Romeo GTA, and later in the European Rally Championship, he started with Lancia.

    
- At 27 he started a manufacturing mill in Spain (technical textiles),  registering 10 patents in just a few years.  - With many motobikes (1975-1985) (Kawasaki, Honda,…) he raced and obtained high speed in straightway and in turn, 260 km/h. With Go- Karts, self tuned, he won the Catalan  and Spain Championship. He discovered a “gap” in the rules for Go- Kart Racing (they forgot to say 4 wheels in a kart) and used it to set up his Kart with a 5th wheel at the rear left, which gave him an advantage driving the kart…but the Spanish Federation changed the rules quickly.

- Racing with his SUPERKART 250 Yamaha in hill-climb competitions, Pietro invented a "air-shock absorbing system" inside the tire of the kart and won the Spanish Mountain championship.

- His racing prototype car LOLA 2000 T/297 (first served with a BMW 2000 cc. 4-stroke engine) was modified with a 2000 cc., 2 stroke, 6V cylinder, EFI Mercury outboard engine (from powerboats U tunnel, of the World Championship).
 He made tuning (torque:up to 40mKg) and adaptation to the car. It was published by Mercury Marine in a World Inform Press and in the magazines: AUTOSPRINT (Italy), YATE e MOTONAUTICA (España), VELOCIDAD and El Mundo Deportivo (España). The english car LOLA was right-drive, but Pietro changed to left-drive.

 - In 1985 Pietro Raddi started racing on the water, at Inshore World Championship Powerboat U-Hull, F1 MERCURY SERIES (2000cc)

- At 4th race (Hannover-D) he was running 4th within 26 drivers from all over the world.

 For all these results, he was received & honoured in Madrid by HH.MM Juan Carlos III, King of Spain.
