Journalist Giampaolo Grossi recounts one of the most important victories of Mantovano Volante. Eighty-five years ago the absolute triumph of the man on the machine, in a sports page that merges the prowess of the drivers on the track with the particular historical context in which it is written.
The 42-year-old Tazio, is apparently at sunset after winning everything, marked in his mind and in the body by accidents and scars: yet, that July 28, 1935, in the gray of the Nürburgring, he takes the scene that should have been of Caracciola, Fagioli, or the young Von Brauchitsch with the Mercedes or maybe of Rosemeyer, Varzi and Stuck with the Auto Union. Among the countless pearls of a legendary career, the one won at the German Grand Prix against the German squadrons and their silver cars is the biggest and most celebrated victory of the Volante Mantovano aboard a car. He gets it with the P3 ceded to Enzo Ferrari, improved in aerodynamics and with ten horsepower and twenty kilometers per hour more in the accelerator.
