Involved with the running of his father's team for a while; otherwise Aldo enjoyed a charmed playboyish life. That said he did initially work hard in his father's factory as a mechanic when many boys of the same age would've been at school. He took up racing Gordini cars just after World War Two and took a notable class win in the 1949 Coupe de Salon at Montlhery. He retired from racing in 1951 and although he got his break via his father, he did do well as a junior driver for the team in Formula 2.
