Nazis: The winner of this race will be a silver car
Some asthmatic Italian: This can be red
Love the reference
ahaha this had me dying with laughter
Underrated comment
hahah oh man sucks i can only like it once
Amazing!
"Its a bit of a circus in ferraris pits" Glad to see things havent changed much after all these years
Mercedes also tried something last weekend
😂😂😂😂 Thank god, I finished my drink... I would have spit that shit everywhere if I read your Comment while I had it 😂
All part of the Ferrari Master Plan (TM)
This is nooo cirrcusss! This is italian tradition!
@@silv3rArrow out was an impressive fuck up Hey!
Can we *PLEASE* get more classic racing stories like this? They are amazing and have gotten me interested in racing history, something I never cared about before
Check out Donut Podcasts if you like racing history stories. They do a great job with some comedy thrown in as well.
Yeah man! I literally just sent this video to someone and said the same exact thing. Was never interested in automotive history until this guy came along.
@@zillatowntv honestly those guys with Donut kinda bug me.
Everybody would love the story of the last pre-war Grand Prix, in Belgrade in 1939. Nuvolari won for Auto Union, but the real story is how Germany invaded Poland during qualifying, and WWII started on race day....
Yea! But it should be correct and not a made-up fairytale that a "little Italian" rebel beat the German Nazis. Italians have been under the Nazi/Fascistic Government of Mussolini at that time and so all the story around the race is absolutely made up. 11:10 you can see in the Foto that Nuvolari is even doing the fascist salutation with the right arm up. The story about the race is true and it happened like that. Rest not so much ...
We always love a good racing story from John Ficarra!
Ficarra should definitely get a "10 best stories" compilation.
If you like this story, you should have Joe Saward on, telling the story of W. Williams, the first winner of the Monaco GP in 1929, joining the British army, becoming a secret agent & running a sabotage network in Paris in WW 2. Robert Benoist, Bugatti's, it's just a cool story. See "The Grand Prix Saboteurs" for the full story
@@nknasi No! Just NO. Ten stories is way to few.
He's the best
As soon as I saw this was one of John's stories, I stopped everything to watch.
I can't belive this story arrived to VinWiki. I am from Mantua, and precisely only a few kilometres from Tazio Nuvolari's village, and actually my grandfather used to see him going so fast on his motorbike on the back then unpaved country roads. In italy he is well known, but in Mantova he's a legend, we have the museum dedicated to him, and we have a classic car racing event every year that is called Trofeo Tazio Nuvolari.
Tazio Nuvolari...per sempre!
And he died in his own bed! 1954?
Ficarra allways tell the best old racing stories, order 10 more!
I agree! I didn't know much if anything about that era of racing, but now I want to learn more.
One of the best VINwiki stories ever? He had me on the edge of my seat!
Same! It was like a movie playing out in my head. Great story teller.
I’m binge watching this channel and this one’s in the top 3, no doubt.
1935 German GP Podium: This can be red
This is a criminally under-rated comment. Well played, Nelson.
upvoted...
From a fellow Italian fan who already knew Nuvolari I LOVED how Ficarra told this story. Now that one time where Nuvolari won the Mille Miglia by turning off his lights!
that sounds like another great story
HOLY SHIT HE'S ACTUALLY THE PREWAR TAKUMI
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 RIGHT?! I THOUGHT THE SAME
@@jplslo8213 He also raced without the steering wheel
@@metalgarageit And also raced with a broken leg.
Imagine all the eurobeat montages if there was footage of this
"I came up from the bottom and into the top"
There is footage of this, albeit very short
@@Jasonsminiadventure "For the first time, I feel Ali-i-ive!"
GAS GAS GAS!!!!!
But make it period-correct Eurobeat, though...so use samples from 30's big band jazz tracks for the beats.
Tomorrow I will share the story I have been most excited to tell for 2020. It is also about my all-time favorite car.
The notification bell is ON!
Did you get to drive the McLaren F1?
The Dacia Sandero?!?
@@siliconinsect Oh, that would be GREAT NEWS!
Honestly, so far AND BY FAR, the best story yet
Last time I heard a good car story (Ford VS Ferrari) there was a movie about it. I know John has the Hollywood connections.
I am now looking forward for "Tazio takes on The Nazis" movie.
In all likelihood, Tazio was probably a Nazi sympathizer himself. Sometimes fact isn't so romantic.
Hated history class back in school.
Love these stories.
your teacher did it wrong my friend!
@@jd-py5nm or maybe it was the subject matter
@@jamesn5625 true it's not everyones cup of tea
@@jamesn5625 Nope, you just start appreciating history more as you age. When you're young you don't understand the point and it just bores you because you have no idea how it relates to life experiences. The older you get the more you understand how important those lessons can be. Well, I guess dumb people who don't think much beyond what's right in front of them never care much for history but everyone with a brain that I know has always said they enjoy history more as they get older. I know I'll probably get some hate for this comment but that's what happens when someone tells the truth.
@@JSchaffer214 Eh. For me, History's always been my favorite subject. In school it was a misery though.
Probably because I prefer to learn about events of geopolitical significance and things that have shaped the world as we know it today.
Instead, a lot of it was focused on obscure documents that have no significance to the rest of the world, and only a minor significance domestically, usually in the form of some law that eventually got repealed. Or some figure who was exclusively relevant to domestic politics, and even then, not majorly so.
I'd rather learn about things like the rise of Sun Yat Sen and how he shaped modern China, or Queen Victoria and how her reign defined an entire era for all of Europe (if not the world)... Rather than being made to learn how some chief justice from hundreds of years ago, named Samuel Chase, was also known as "Old Bacon Face," and eventually got impeached for being too impartial.
Victoria's reign and impact was maybe covered in a single day, the impact of steam power on the industrial revolution also only in a single day (at most). With over a week being spent learning about the cotton gin and spinning jenny, which is entirely backwards to me. Sun Yat-sen wasn't even covered at all.
This video gave me the inspiration I needed to write a story for my creative writing class.
“Write a story about a painting”, so of course after I saw this I knew what I needed to do. The story gave me an A in this class, thanks John!
Solid story teller.
John clearly had exposure to the cinematic world -- he sure knows how to tell a good story.
Wow Just wow. No offense to Ed but John is my most favorite story teller ...
He defines what a story tell does. He embraces the story and pulls the listener along for a tremendous venture.
Never heard that story. What a great story
Yeah unfortunately it was not exactly how he told it, well unfortunately!
The Greatest racing driver of all time! Tazio Nuvolari.
This should have 100k likes; the story is arguably better than the Cobra-Ferrari wars of the early 1960s. Drivers like Tazio and Fangio were EPIC legends driving their hearts out with ZERO mechanical or computer aids and ZERO safety equipment, besides a rudimentary helmet and goggles. Just pure sports and passion.
plz tell the story of the 1957 german gp with fangio's swansong
Can do! Thanks for the great suggestion.
7:20
Ferrari messing up pit stops seems to be a tradition they are unwilling to let go of.
Absolutely....😅
Ficarra needs a podcast just for Racing History
I originally wasn't going to click on the story, but as I kept scrolling I started to wonder who it was telling the story. Definitely glad I came back clicked the video.
One of the best stories ever posted here
"... Four wheel drift"
My brain: *deja vu*
WE NEED A JOHN FICARRA AMA!! Love how he can tell a story that doesn’t even involve him!
John Ficarra, you always have some of the greatest stories to tell. I love the racing stories, I bet I’ve listened to the Ford GT story 20 times and I’ll probably listen to this one as much too.
Handing over his record of his national anthem must have been the cherry on top of the cake of that victory.
You had me sitting at the edge of my chair, did not want to miss a heartbeat....what a story.
Dude this needs be to a movie it's as good a story as Ford v Ferrari
I know every facet of the 1992 Hooters 500 which is widely considered to be the greatest NASCAR Cup race in history. That said, I want to hear John tell the story in his way if he’s a fan of that kind of thing. It would be amazing. His elegance in historical storytelling is among the best I’ve ever seen.
The King's last race, Jeff Gordon's first. Alan Kulwicki wins the championship in the "Underbird" as an independent owner/driver. So many pages turned as a result of the race. Some triumph, some tragedy in 92.
I think tazio nuvolari is the goat of motorsport, not only he invented the drift but he also pulled of the biggest upset in History
I would listen to this man and Ed Bolian telling stories about the patterns that form in drying paint.
Funny how he mentions a 2min pit stop would completely f*ck up your race right after what happened to Mercedes this weekend.
What an incredible story! One of the best of 2020, without a doubt. Ficarra certainly has some good ones, and I think this one just went to first place on his list. Followed closely, of course, by the infamous "This could be red" story.
The way he tells the story you’d think John was there watching. Lol
This has always been my favorite racing story. If you want another great one, Fangio getting kidnapped in Cuba is a good one.
Fangio's '57 Nürburgring drive? The greatest drive in history in mine, and many others' opinions.
I love underdog stories just like this
I read the story of this race 45 years ago and Tazio has been a hero of mine ever since.
Pulling out the recording of the Italian national anthem when the German say they don't have it....priceless.
I am but a simple man. I see John Ficarra, I upvote.
This man is why I love the channel. Just the most awesome history you would never know or think to seek out on your own.
This is up there with my favorite VINwiki video - John’s telling of the story of the ‘65 Le Mans race. All of his stories are great, but the classic racing ones are another level of awesomeness! I know we’ve had a few recently, but fingers crossed that he filmed at least a few more during his last trip to see Ed. 🤞
*sees the title*
me: I hope it's John Ficarra
*opens video*
It is John Ficarra.
This is a good day.
Saw the title, said, "Ficarra's back, effin' awesome!"
When I see there's another video with John I literally drop anything I do and go watch it
What a story. What a man. What a car
this was a great story!
John Ficarra has a lot of great car stories. Many thanks to Ed and VinWiki.
This is def top 10 stories of all time for this channel for me, Thanks John!
That was one of the BEST car stories I've ever heard. Period! Love it!
We need more people like John to keep these stories alive. I love racing and I didn't even know this one
It's always great listening to Ficarra talk about racing history. You can tell how passionate he is about it. Great story!
Thank you sir. For explaining a race in great detail that most people would not have ever known about. This would make a great movie... Kind of like Ford VS Ferrari but it would be Italy VS Germany and the world...
No
No, remember it was Italy AND Germany against the world. Until Japan decided they wanted to join in
That's a wild story, id never heard about that race before. What an incredible win.
Now that's a great story teller if I ever heard one.
One of the best story tellers yet
Mr. John Ficarra and Mr. Ed Bolian are masters at story telling! Please give us more stories like this one, cheers!
Always love John Ficarra's stories. Can we have more?
Love your stories, keep the history alive brother..... Thanks KMFNB
Two videos and a subscription. These are so awesome! I'm going to start going to bed with John's dulcet tones in the background.
Storytelling skills are absolutely on point. Hooked on every word, had goosebumps on some parts. Absolutely wild, I love these old stories of Ficarra
Best car story I've heard on this channel to date!!!! So glad you shared it thank you!
"we defeated the wrong enemy"
- General George S. Patton
Mussolini should've split with Germany after they killed Dollfuss
Love this guys engineering stories.
WHAT A STORY AND WHAT A STORYTELLER!
this was the best video I ever saw here! cheers lads
These are my favorite stories. John’s the best!
Italy in a nutshell: shoestring budget, still kickin' ass.
Amazing story teller. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time
Fantastic recap from John!
HOW IS THIS NOT A MOVIE YET?? EPIC!!
Well, considering how Hollywood butchered the 1966 Le Mans, I'd rather not see a movie based on this...
Can we please get a whole channel of Mr. Ficarra telling historical automotive stories? I'd watch the hell out of that
Thanks for the history lessons!! Love it!
I've been lucky enough to work on a Scuderia Ferrari Alfa, strangely enough in Joe Ricciardo's workshop where a young Daniel was preparing his Go Kart. I love any stories of Nuvolari and this one is so beautifully told. A few years ago I went to his museum in Mantua. I've seen many a P3 and Monza's a few 8C-35's but you are correct. The holy grail of any GP car is the 1935 German GP winner at the hands of the flying Mantuan. VinWiki you now have a new subscriber, I've enjoyed many of your videos but to tell this tale one so close to my heart has made me click that button. Keep them coming pease.
Ed please do a top 10 Ficarra stories supercut
he did yesterday (ruclips.net/video/2q0iYoK9c_o/видео.html) but this story is not part of it
One of your best videos!!!
This was honestly one of my FAVORITE stories!
Great story and so well told! Awesome and inspiring!
Great choice of car. Your story has brought tears to my eyes. When I was a child, I read a story about Nuvolari in a boy's 'wonder book'. Decades ago, when I lived in Italy, I visited the Nuvolari museum in Mantua. Alas, it was a public holiday and it was closed. So I stood and at the window reflecting on what I knew of him. Bravo Nuvolari!
The way he tells this story
Had my fullest attention
Pretty good storyteller
Morebof this guy please
Seriously, top 3 best story tellers on this entire channel. PLEASE let this guy do more stories!
Tazio is one of my heroes too. Great recounting of a spectacular driving performance!
The best Car story teller on the internet... I salute you.....
Legend has it that Nuvolari would go out in practice and put up his best lap (which was often the best of anybody). Then he would have the mechanics remove half the brake shoes from the car and go even faster.
Best pure driver ever.
Dudes, I’m here for the classic racing stories. For real, that’s some solid content.
CAN THIS PLEASE BE A MOVIE!?!?!?
Suddenly have run across history VinWiki stories..... LOVE IT.
Years ago in high school, I read a book about the worlds greatest drivers, now this book would be probably 70 years old today and the number one driver was Tazio...loved to hear this.
Thanks for this story, it was awesome, learned lots
I could listen to him all day! what an amazing storyteller!
What a great history story! Thank you so much.
I listened to this twice in a row. Great.
I want to see this as a movie. Awesome story!
I thought John was going to tell the story of Rene Dreyfus winning the 1938 Pau Grand Prix in a Delahaye 145 owned by American ex-pat Lucy O'Reily Schell who lived in Paris. Dreyfus beat the Nazi funded Mercedes W154 driven by Caracciola and Lang. Dreyfus was a French Jew which makes their victory all that much sweeter! Side note, Schell was the mother of 50's era Grand Prix driver Harry Schell. There is a good book about this amazing victory: Faster: How a Jewish Driver, an American Heiress, and a Legendary Car Beat Hitler’s Best by Neil Bascomb. I highly recommend it, especially if you like stories of Nazi's getting their asses kicked and who doesn't like that? Great story John, I am a fan of any and all motorsports history and this is one I didn't know much about.
This was awesome!! More please!?!
This is such an amazing Story. I really love how John tells it. I already knew it but this guy tells the story with such a passion. Really nice!
With this kind of backstory my car pick looks boring. I would take the Gemera. The Agera RS is my absolute favorite but the Gemera has just everything.
More john ficcara videos! Number 1 vinwiki storyteller! We need a car-nerd president and i think we found our guy!
Love johns storys!
Ficarra has the best god-damned stories (period).
