Two years after forming a Ferrari racing team, a Silicon
Valley technology veteran and his partners took home the Grand AM Rolex GT
Championship. This week, they brought the winning car home to be adored.

Silicon Valley, and partner Giacomo
Mattiolicreated the Scuderia Corsa racing team in 2011. This year, one of
their cars, the #63 Ferrari 458 Italia (pictured in all its
over-the-top-sexiness in the accompanying photo array), too first place.
The #63 car's vital stats make it as dangerous as it is
beautiful: a 4.6 liter V8 engine makes 530 horse power. She does 0-60 mph in
under 3 seconds and tops out at 202 mph.
Zafiropoulo in 1993 led a management buyout of Ultratech
Inc., a semiconductor equipment maker, and led the company through its initial
public offering.
