Does anyone know what colours the Trivellato cars typically ran in? I've seen a picture of a Trivellato-supported Lola T290 in 1972 painted red with yellow and green stripes down the front but I don't know whether those were Trivellato's colours or the driver's preference.

Alternatively - in typical TNF fashion - would anyone like to ignore the actual question and reminise in general about Trivellato?

Thanks

Allen

Alan, are you aware of the book "for love of 1,000 engines" - it deals with the Trivellato history. I don't think there are typical Trivellato colours - the Fiats 128 they ran themselves (as opposite to the Filipinetti cars) were bright red, with white and black stripes. The earlier Abarths were err... Abarth-grey.

The Patrese F2 and F3 Chevrons were blue. I'd never thought they had a specific team colour.

No, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.

Does it mention anything about their Lola T290s in 1972?

I also thought there was never a specific team colour. sponsors choose the colour i guess.

Although the book seems to be quite complete there's not a single line mentioning the Lola: in 1971 they fielded Abarth and AMS sportscars, in 1973 they were the March importer. 1972 is full of stories on the Fiat 128 cars (not that I mind!).
The book is small and expensive, but enjoyable - and written in English. Carlo Alberto Gabellieri, "For love of 1000 engines", 1995, no ISBN number (!).

Thanks for looking that up Frank.

Trivellato appears to have supported two Lola T290s in 1972, one for Antonio Zadra and one for Giorgio Danielli. Both appear in photographs to have been red with a green and yellow stripe down the nose. Either this was a team livery or the pictures have been misidentified or the car was shared in some way. I need to check the other two options.

Thanks

Allen

As if to prove what has been written previously, two Trivellato Chevrons from the 1977 Silverstone International Trophy: Firstly Patrese's F2 and Gabbiani's red F3 version. Only evidence of Trivellato are stickers on the cockpit cowl of the F2 car, and on the nose fins of the F3 car.

Nice picture, this is the first race for Gabbiani in my F3 database, he finished 12th. The next entry is a win at Le Castellet. Question: did he race in the 1976 Italian series, or were these really his first two F3 races?

I think that he tested a Modus M1 in 1976 but did not appear in any of the races for which I have records.

The Lola t290 colours you refer to are Scuderia Brescia Corse team
They entered 2 or 3 cars in races but i think the drivers owned the cars
Zadra was 1 driver with Pooky and passolini in 72/3

Any details about the F1 project of Trivellato (Chevron car, Patrese as driver)?

There were also plans about an own F3 car. Why didn't that happen?

What happened to the team since the 80s?

They actually built the F.3 car, it was tested, by Siegfried Sthor, IIRC, and a pic or two appeared on Autosprint magazine...after they stopped with Chevron continued in F.3. Italian and then European championship with Dallara (1982), Ravaglia and Langes driving, then Ralt and Ravaglia (1983), Ralt and Berger (1984). Back to Italian F.3 (Andrea Chiesa, IIRC), Gp.A customer cars preparation, cannot recall more, at this moment, sorry :)
