Ran a huge Ferrari dealership, which ran advertising on the Ferrari Formula 1 cars in the late 70's. He was still involved in French motor sport, in one way or another until his death. Of Italian ancestry, Pozzi's father was killed in World War One so Charles made his own way in life, becoming an agricultural engineer before starting his dealership in 1932. He was initially a Ford dealer but became Ferrari's French importer in 1968. He was also a long-time car entrant but enjoyed some racing as well and he won the 1949 French Sportscar Grand Prix, amongst other notable results.
