    Enzo Osella, passed away yesterday at the age of 86.
    The first half of his career was spent alongside Carlo Abarth. In 1971, Carlo Abarth sold the racing department to Enzo Osella, who continued to race under the name Osella Corse participating with his Sports cars in Formula Ford and F2.
    The natural progression was F1, where the team participated from 1980 to 1990, with 132 Grand Prix races. Best result was 4th place with J.P.Jarier at San Marino Gp of 1982.

    One of the great journeyman teams of the 1980's. Successful in other formulas and an asset to the sport. RIP
