“Racing is in my blood. Racing is who I am. Racing is who I will always be.”
A racing legend is built on much more than talent. There’s a cocktail of ambition, effort, focus, and consistency, seasoned with an abundance of charisma.
The path which led Emerson to glory and to the Olympus of racing drivers was short, fast, yet challenging. Opportunities were grasped with courage, dedication, and remarkable work ethics.
Alongside Wilson, his brother and partner in every adventure, Emerson learned different trades and honed several skills, gradually getting intimate with the soul of machines, the intricacies of the sport, and securing his own ticket into the F1 “circus,” where he would become its brightest star.
Fittipaldi conquered Europe but carried Brazil with him. He venerates his compatriots who came before, yet he was the first great motorsport hero for Brazilians — and beyond — inspiring the champions who followed. In a country where the power of dreams and faith serves as the very oxygen for so many, that’s not a trivial role.
Proving his dedication to both his country and his family, he joined his brother in the dream of a Brazilian racing team, and his legacy lives on in this collection, which also pays tribute to the memory, life, and audacity of Wilson.
And as if anything had been left to prove in those years regarding Emerson’s talent, it was more than confirmed during the spectacular second stint of his career, behind the wheel of Penske’s single-seaters.
The Fittipaldi name continues to carve its path and write new chapters in motorsport history, but Emerson’s triumphs are encapsulated in these machines, which visually narrate the success of one of the most charismatic drivers of all time.
In the country where, even today, driving fast is synonymous with going “à la Fittipaldi,” it’s an honor to welcome this outstanding collection — never before displayed — making its world premiere at the Museu do Caramulo.
