## Resource

In 1958 Cuba, Formula One legend Juan Manuel Fangio arrived in Havana expecting fast cars, big prize money and glamorous nightlife. Instead, on the eve of the race, rebels fighting the regime of Fulgencio Batista pulled off one of the most audacious kidnappings in sporting history.  In Part 1, we explore the explosive mix of motorsport, mafia money, revolution and how the road to the Havana Grand Prix ran straight through the chaos of the Cuban Revolution.
