Antonio Brivio Sforza (occasionally seen as Marchese Sforza Brivio; 27 December 1905 – 20 January 1995) was an Italian racing driver and bobsledder.[1]
Auto racing career
Among Brivio's greatest successes in the field of sports cars include a victory in the 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps (1932), two victories in the Targa Florio (1933 and 1935) and a win at the Mille Miglia (1936). His greatest successes in Grand Prix races were third places in the Monaco Grand Prix in 1935 and German Grand Prix in 1936. That year he won the pole position for the AAA-sanctioned Vanderbilt Cup, finishing third.[2] He stopped racing after winning Mille Miglia in his own category in 1952.
After the Second World War, Brivio was a motorsport functionary; he became a member of the Italian Automobile Club and the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), where he participated in the launch of the World Championship.
Bobsleigh career
As a bobsledder, Brivio won a bronze medal in the two-man event at the 1935 FIBT World Championships in Igls.
At the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he finished tenth in the four-man event and 12th in the two-man event.
