Michele Alboreto was born in Milan, Italy on December 23, 1956. He studied technical design and began racing in 1976 with a Formula Monza car named the CMR which he had built together with a few friends. The car was not very successful but by 1978 he had begun to show promise and was winning club-level races in more conventional machinery. He later moved to a March chassis and competed in Formula 3 competition. In 1979, he finished second in the Italian Formula 3 Championship.In 1980, he entered the European Formula 3 Championships and was given a Lancia endurance team drive in major FIA events. He drove for the Euroracing Formula 3 team, winning rounds at the Osterreichring in Austria, La Chatre in France, Monza, and at Kassel-Calden in Germany. He emerged as European Champion, which earned him a place in the Minardi Formula 2 team for 1981.Alboreto scored Minardi's only Formula 2 win at Misano-Adriatico - and made his Formula 1 Grand Prix racing debut with the Tyrrell team at the 1981 San Marino GP at Imola. Ken Tyrrell retained his services for 1982, where he won the Las Vegas GP, finishing seventh in the FIA Drivers' World Championship, and also won three major races for Lancia, in the Silverstone Six Hours, Nurburgring 1,000Kms and at Mugello.
