old thread but had to add:
The Maserati brothers
(seven of them total) but most of all carlos maserati. being that his company is the oldest car maker with beginnings in racing.
and dont forget
Nicola Romeo and Guiseppe Merosi
of Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (ALFA)
building cars since 1910 and hired Enzo Ferrari to their racing team before he left to make his own race cars. Merosi and Romeo also gave us the overly misused title of GT (Gran Turismo), yeah this means YOU ford and GM.
there is definitly others but i cant think of any more right now.
