Biography

In 1951, after the death of his brother Jean Bugatti in 1939, and his father Ettore Bugatti in 1947, Roland Bugatti (age 25) and Marco Pierre (former pilot and loyal partner of the plant) tried to pursue the Adventure Bugatti unsuccessfully.

1956 Bugatti Type 252
1956 Bugatti Type 251

They produced the Bugatti Type 101, successor of the Bugatti Type 57; It is considered by many to be the last true Bugatti car. Eight models were produced in 1951 and 1952 (and one in 1965) and six of them were sold.

In 1956 the company attempted a comeback in Formula One competition with the Bugatti Type 251.

In 1963 Bugatti was sold to the aerospace company Hispano-Suiza.

Bugatti died in Aix-en-Provence on 29 March 1977.

gollark: I don't really want to do very abstract mathy stuff for ages, which is also mentioned in my notes.
gollark: A 17x17 grid is small enough that you can probably get away with inefficiency, ubq.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Oops too many newlines.
gollark: Quoted from my notes:The relevant factors for course choice are probably something like this, vaguely in order: “personal fit” - how much I'll actually like it. This is quite hard to tell in advance. During the Y11 careers interview I was recommended some kind of trial thing for engineering, but I doubt that's on now, like many other things. Probably more important than other things, as I'd spend 3-5 years on said course, will perform better if I do enjoy it, and will probably not get much use out of studying a subject I would not like enough to do work related to. flexibility/generality - what options are opened by studying this stuff? Especially important in a changing and unpredictable world. how hard a subject is to learn out of university - relates to necessity of feedback from people who know it much better, specialized equipment needed, availability of good teaching resources, etc. Likely to decline over time due to the internet/modern information exchange systems and advancing technology making relevant equipment cheaper. earning potential - how much money does studying this bring? I don't think this is massively significant, it's probably outweighed by other things quite rapidly, but something to consider. Apparently high for quantitative and applied subjects. entry requirements - how likely I am to be able to study it. There are some things I probably cannot do at all now, such as medicine, but I didn't and don't really care about those, and there shouldn't be many. Most of the high-requirement stuff is seemingly available with more practical ones at less prestigious universities, which is probably fine.
