...Frenchmen call it La Ronde Infernale ("The Hell Circuit"). Pro drivers hate it: the 8.3-mile course is monotonous, and amateurs are allowed to compete, a fact that makes the coolest pro perspire with fright.

...Enzo Ferrari is an Italian automotive genius who worships power and precision and regularly rolls the world's finest and fastest racing cars out of his factory at Maranello.

...across the bottom of the jacket. Stuarti's rising fortunes, as a matter of fact, can be measured by that very same album: now that he is a nightclub success, it has sold 150,000 copies in five printings, each of which has given successively better billing to Enzo. The latest jacket copy ignores Lanza altogether. Its title is Enzo Stuarti Sings the World's Great Arias...
