Tazio Nuvolari was in a class by himself. No slight on Andretti, who has excelled in everything from Midgets to NASCAR, Indy, and Formula 1. Nuvolari was unworldly.
Astonishing to think how fast they were way back then, and the total lack of attention to safety. And then, those tires. I'd be terrified to drive that kind of power on those skinny tires.
Foyt never came across the pond to tackle Grands Prix. Mario Andretti didn't just do this, but won a World Championship too. In my view he is without doubt the greatest North American driver in the history of the sport.
Nuvolari was in a class of his own. He was generally regarded as the best driver of his time. He was far closer to Fangio than anyone else. I'm hoping to get to Mantua, North East Italy someday to see the Tazio Nuvolari Museum. Mantua has worshipped the Nuvolari name and I'm sure this museum wouldn't disappoint in any way!
Too many inaccuracies in the programme. For a much more accurate story, see the second half of 'Supercharged Grand Prix Cars - 1924-1939'. A wonderful programme, with interviews with those who knew the cars (and in some cases designed them)...
When the drivers were a real men tires so skinny probably not even a seatbelt a little leather helmet and a whole Lotta horsepower and without any downforce really whatsoever. The truly brave will always be remembered
Incorrect, they were both branded and referred to as Silver Arrows due to the many unique and futuristic designs both brandished in glorious silver - or just bare metal in some cases.
Never trust a video that shows a Typ 'D' as a 'B'; and above all, never, ever trust a video that whose presenter call Neubauer 'NEWBOWER'! It's 'NOYbower'. No - just stick to the BBC's 'History of the Grand Prix Car'. Accurate AND definitive.
Nice presentation unfortunately plagued by some omissions and inaccuracies. Ex: Anachronism, wrong car types, ignorance of drivers such as Hermann Lang, Dick Seaman, Varzi, Fagioli

Music under the narration IS NOT NECESSARY !! Thank you.
Tazio Nuvolari was the Mario Andretti of his day - able to win no matter what he drove.
I thought that was A J Foyt.

More like a Senna or a Alonso
@Paul Caswell - You're forgetting the other great North American F1 Champion, Phil Hill.

Very well done
Отличное видео! Но немного короткое, чтобы рассказать обо всех Великих гонщиках той эпохи.
14:15 Madness

@jason kent - The saying goes: "When the drivers were fat and the tires were skinny."
Yes it does lol
7:36 4.9 litres is displacement, not output.
The veritable silver arrows are the Marcedes Benz not the Auto - Union´s! but both cars were amasing racing cars with amasing drivers! Stay safe!

What we thought we knew then and what we know now.
