🇮🇹 Piero Drogo

Piero Drogo was an established professional racing driver from Italy who competed in Formula 1 during the 1960 season. He drove for Cooper-Climax, one of the era's leading constructor teams, and made a single Grand Prix start at the Italian Grand Prix.[1]

Drogo finished 14th in the championship standings across the season on the strength of his sole race appearance. In that outing he finished ahead of Wolfgang Seidel, an established professional, and Fred Gamble, an entry-level professional competitor. His indexed record comprises only this one start in a field that ran from amateur entrants to graded professionals in shared competition.[2]

Drogo left racing to establish Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena, where he became known for work on sports cars during a period when the city was a centre for that trade. He remained engaged with motorsport through automotive design and fabrication rather than competition driving.
