EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary Italian race car driver, Tazio Nuvolari, in action behind the wheel of a D Type Auto-Union during the 1938 racing season. Widely regarded as one of the finest drivers of his era, Nuvolari's skill and determination were matched only by his charisma and popularity with fans. In this image, he is seen driving the powerful D Type Auto-Union, a sleek and innovative racing machine equipped with a 3-litre, twelve cylinder engine that produced an impressive 450 hp. The engine was mounted rearward, enhancing the car's handling and stability. The combination of Nuvolari's expertise and the Auto-Union's formidable power proved unbeatable on the race circuit. Together, they claimed victory in two of the most prestigious races of the year: the Italian Grand Prix and the Donington Park Grand Prix. The Italian Grand Prix, held at Monza, saw the pair average an astonishing speed of 96.7 mph for a distance of 260 miles. At the Donington Park Grand Prix in England, they achieved an average speed of 80.49 mph over a distance of 250 miles. This photograph is a testament to the extraordinary partnership between man and machine during an era of automotive innovation and competition. The D Type Auto-Union and Tazio Nuvolari remain iconic symbols of racing history, their legacy enduring more than eight decades after this image was captured.
