Fittipaldi Automotive was a Brazilian Formula One team Formed in 1974 by Wilson Fittipaldi. Sometimes known as Copersucar (Their first main sponsor). Fittipaldi Automotive was the only Brazilian Formula One team in the history of the sport. The team was based in So Paulo 10,000 kilometers away from the Motorsport central in the UK.
Details about the entire process of reconstituting the FD-01, or Fitti-1, depicting how Dana Brazil's employees went around the world after components and fragments to re-create with complete authenticity the 6,000 parts of this Formula-1 gem.
In addition to recounting the recovery of the first models of the Fittipaldi team and the restatement of the restored Fitti-1 at the Interlagos racetrack, the author goes back in time and unveils the beginning of the Fittipaldi brothers' passion for motorsports, at a time when they made sport steering wheels.
