About MOMO It all began with a passion for motor racing. One day Giampiero Moretti, amateur racing driver, had a friend of his make a very special steering wheel for his racing car. It was smaller than the normal ones used but what was most original about it was the handgrip, a very large handgrip that offered a much better hold, making the car easier to handle and drive. This odd steering-wheel attracted the attention of many racing drivers, among them John Surtees of Ferrari. The English driver tried it, was enthusiastic, and had it mounted on his single-seater Formula One racing car.
The importance of design in the success of MOMO products led to the creation of a separate division, MOMO DESIGN, in 1982, and in 1983 MOMO CORSE started up, specializing in the production and distribution of high technology racing accessories.
