EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the legendary Italian motor racing driver, Tazio Nuvolari, is seen in the cockpit of his Alfa Romeo Bimotore at the Tripoli Grand Prix in 1935. The image captures the intensity and focus of Nuvolari as he prepares for the race, with the roaring engines of his twin-engine Alfa Romeo providing the backdrop. Nuvolari, known as "The Magician," was one of the greatest motor racing drivers of the 1930s. His career spanned from the late 1920s to the late 1950s, and he achieved numerous victories in various racing series, including Grand Prix, sports car races, and hill climbs. The Alfa Romeo Bimotore, a single-seater racing car, was one of his most successful mounts. Powered by two supercharged V6 engines, the Bimotore produced an impressive 550 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful cars of its time. The Tripoli Grand Prix, held in Libya, was a prestigious race in the Grandes Épreuves, the premier class of international races in Europe at the time. Nuvolari's victory in the 1935 Tripoli Grand Prix was a significant one, as he set a new lap record and became the first driver to win the race in a single lap. This photograph is a testament to Nuvolari's skill and the raw power of the Alfa Romeo Bimotore. The 1930s were an era of innovation and excitement in motor racing, and this photograph captures the spirit of that time. Nuvolari's intense concentration and the raw power of the Alfa Romeo Bimotore are palpable, making this image a must-have for any motor racing or automotive history collection.
