GET TO KNOW CLAY’S LIFE
I RAGAZZI DEL RISTORANTE GALLERIA
by Giorgio Passera
1959-1974: magical, unrepeatable years for motor sport in the Canton Ticino. A period of great passion, of races, of people short on resources but long on enthusiasm who competed in the hope of one day becoming a professional racing driver. Some of them made it: Clay Regazzoni, Silvio Moser and Tommy Spychiger to name but three. They would meet up every Thursday evening at the Ristorante Galleria in the centre of Lugano and talked, planned and dreamed. In those years it was still possible to leave home with a standard production car, compete in some form of racing, probably a slalom or a hillclimb, before driving home again after having removed the race numbers and refitted the standard exhaust. Having researched the publications of the time and interviewed those involved in that magical moment, the author evokes a chapter in sporting and social history.
