Aldo Andretti, who shared twin brother Marios initiation into motorsport, has died at the age of 80.
The two started out taking turns in the drivers seat of an old Hudson which they turned into a race car, finding early success at Nazareth Speedway.
Aldos ambitions were set back by a shocking crash in 1959 which put him into a coma, before he suffered a shattered eye socket, among other horrific injuries, when he flipped a sprintcar in 1969.
