Italian Giulio Cabianca for the most of his career was linked with the OSCA, a marque established by the Maserati brothers in 1947. He was the Italian Sportscar Champion in the 1100 and the 1500 cm3 classes, respectively in 1952 and 1955, and the Italian GT Champion in 1958. Cabianca raced also in Le Mans, Targa Florio and Mille Miglia. His story in single-seaters was much shorter. Cabianca started in his OSCA in the prestigious Grand Prix Automobile de Pau in 1958, finishing a creditable third. Later that year he failed to qualify in the Grand Prix de Monaco but finally made the grid at the 1958 Italian Grand Prix, driving the Maserati 250F entered by Joakim Bonnier’s team. Cabianca recorded just four appearances in F1 in 1958-60. In the 1960 he drove Cooper T51 for Scuderia Eugenio Castellotti in the Italian Grand Prix. With the British teams boycotting the event due to the use of Monza’s fearsome banking, they spearheaded a Ferrari 1-2-3 with Phil Hill winner and Cabianca first of the others. He qualified fourth and on race day he finished in a career-best fourth place.
Cabianca’s was killed in a bizarre incident at the Modena Autodrome test track on 5 June 1961. He was at the wheel of his Scuderia Castellotti-entered Cooper T51-Ferrari in which he finished in fourth place in the Italian Grand Prix when he suffered a suspected stuck throttle. Unable to stop, his Cooper went off track, struck a spectator and then went through the gate of the Autodrome which was open because of men at work near the track. The car crossed public road and crashed against the wall of a workshop. Crossing the road, Cabianca’s Cooper struck a taxi. Cabianca was killed as were the three people in the taxi.
