Does the name "Armano" ring a bell at all?

I think Dalara of the chassis company fame was also an engineer/test driver

There is a difference between 'test drivers' and drivers.
Bob Wallce was from NZ now living in the US
Valentino still lives in Italy
I think both are properly called test drivers although Wallace did most test driving as in setting up. Not so sure about Valentino doing that type of test driving but some on here know him well and can comment
Perhaps ask on Ferrari chat in countach forum as some people there with close long term factory connections

There is a new one called 'Max Venturi'

I think one of the requirements of getting a test driver job is to have an unusual name tongue out
