Scuderia Filipinetti (also French name Ecurie Filipinetti) was a Swiss motor racing team that competed in sports car racing and occasionally in Formula One between 1962 and 1973. It was founded by Georges Filipinetti (1907-1973) to support Swiss driver Jo Siffert, but employed many other drivers including Jim Clark, Phil Hill and Ronnie Peterson. Filipinetti initially named the team as Ecurie Nationale Suisse, but changed it after complaints from the Automobile Club de Suisse.{{cite web|url=http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-2012/143/filipinetti-triumph-tragedy |title=Filipinetti: triumph before tragedy|date=7 July 2014 }}

The team ran its cars in a red and white livery and most often used Ferrari cars, although it also employed cars from other manufacturers like FIAT[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/2847070168/ref=sib_rdr_zmin?p=S098&j=1#reader-page Scuderia Filipinetti - the history of the Swiss racing team] and Chevrolet; the team's 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88 made its Le Mans debut in 1968 and returned for the 24 Hours of Le Mans five more times – consecutively – until 1973, a record that remains unbroken by any single chassis.{{cite web |url=http://www.rmauctions.com/PressRelease.cfm?PressID=671 |title=CHAMPION L88 CORVETTE AND HISTORIC FERRARI 166MM SPIDER SCAGLIETTI JOIN RM'S MONTEREY SALE |publisher= RM AUCTIONS |accessdate=3 May 2011}}
