Hi

Anyone knows about the Lino Fayen's victory at Monthlery (October 1954) during the "Coppa del Salone" where Fayen done the most spedy tours?

Thanks to all.

That would be "Les Coupes du Salon", October 3rd, 1954. Motorcycles in the morning, cars in the afternoon.
But unfortunately, only results for the motorcycle races, I could not find records for the cars.

I did find this, but it does not give the actual results. The Moretti is shown.

However, the French driver Guy Mairesse died during practice in his Talbot... he was 43 years old.
Mairesse had participated to 3 Grand Prix on his Ecurie Belgique Talbot-Lago, with a 9th place as a best result in the French GP in 1951.

AFAIK the date was 10. October 1954, not 3. October.

Léon "Lino" Marcel Louis Fayen (a French born Venezuelean) didn't win. He finished 4th overall, although claiming victory in the 3/4 liter class.

Results:
1. Roy Clarkson (Morgan) 51.36 [1st 2000 cc class]
2. Chavy (Peugeot)
3. Sabine (Porsche 356) 52.02 [1st 1300 cc class]
4. Lino Fayen (Moretti 750S) 55.07.6 [1st 750 cc class]
5. Gorge (Simca)
6. Lucien Vincent (Peugeot 203)
7. Terray (Porsche 356)
8. Divall (Porsche 356)
9. Lucien Bonnet (Panhard)
10. Jean-Louis Rosier (Renault)

BTW Supporting race, the main event was won by Jean Behra (Gordini T24S)

No, that happened earlier in the year during practice for the Coupes de Paris on 24. April.

Lino Fayen runs the 1955 Mille Miglia with a Moretti 750S (barchetta). The question is: Is he partecipated to other race with this car?

Apart from Monthléry and the Mille Miglia Fayen planned to compete in the 1955 Le Mans 24H with Herman Rogenry. The couple wasn't allowed to start in the mother of endurance racing: the Moretti was too late on the grid!

Yves Kaltenbach's book "Triumph & Tragedy" offers a photo of the Fayen / Rogenry Moretti at the 1955 24 Heures de Paris. The car is entered as a 750 cc and is a gorgeous barchetta with registration 176212-TO.
