Eugenio Castellotti was the youngest driver of Scuderia Lancia. Together
with Ascari and Villoresi, he joined the newly-founded Grand Prix
racing team in 1954. Due to many constructional delays in the
im-plementation of the D50 project, the team did not get involved in
racing until the last race of the 1954 season. Consequently team members
split their time between the missions of Scuderia Lancia and other race
events. Ascari won the 1954 Mille Miglia, Villoresi competed in
Portugal, and Castellotti finished third at the Tourist Trophy. The
long-awaited debute of the Lancia D50, however, was anything but
suc-cessful. It appeared that the D50 was neither technically mature nor
reliable enough for racing the long distance of a Grand Prix at this
time.
The heat wave that accompanied the Grand Prix of Argentina
1955 was a torture for man and machine. Again, none of Scuderia Lancia's
cars finished the race, and the whole team was depressed. Nevertheless,
abandoning was out of the question to proud Gianni Lancia. The
successful performances of Lancia D50 in the subsequen Grands Prix of
Turin and Pau provided a much-needed hope to turn thing around for the
costly Formula 1 project.
The Grand Prix of Pau was a car race
held annually in the French Pyrenees region. It did not count towa-rds
the Formula 1 World Championship. In 1955, the race event took place on
April 11, and participants were to complet 110 laps, covering a total
distance of 303.84 km. The Mercedes team did not take part in this race
as its attention was focused on the race in Monaco. Ferrari did not
appear in Pau, either. Their crushing defeat in the previous race of
Turin remained too painful.
Driving a Lancia D50 with #6, the
double world champion Alberto Ascari got pole position. Unfor-tunately
with the last two laps to go, he was caught in the misfortune of having a
broken brake line. Jean Behra, a seasoned vetern, got to lead the race
to the end in his Maserati 250F with #14. The highly-gifted Castellotti
drove his #10 Lancia D50 to a second-place finish with one minute behind
the winner Jean Behra. Roberto Mieres finished third in a Maserati
250F, and Luigi Villoresi, in a Lancia D50 with #8, came in fourth.
Because of the time lost on repairs, Alberto Ascari only took a fifth
place.
