Snapshot, 1954: Such is life in racing…
Entered under Luigi Chinetti’s N.A.R.T. banner, Baggio has been paired up with the Dominican playboy Porfirio Rubirosa, who’s famously been accompanied at the great endurance race by his glamorous girlfriend, the actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor. But despite the duo’s charisma and charm, their race lasted a mere five laps before Baggio beached the Ferrari at Tertre Rouge. For a whole hour, dressed for the occasion in a finely tailored grey suit and bowtie, Baggio has dug furiously to try and release the car, but alas his efforts have been in vain.
