Achille Varzi described Tazio Nuvolari as "the greatest racing madman of us all." I quite agree. There was only one Nuvolari. There will never be another.

The Greatest of all time 😊

1935 Grand Prix in my book was a great victory for Tazio. The Auto Union cars were so intimidating and advanced(give it to the Germans) that in one race all the competitors withdrew. Tazio took an old Alfa and with some luck and tremendous driving won the race; it just blows the mind.

Nuvolari's uncanny ability to win races with inferior equipment caused some of his contemporaries to accuse him of having sold his soul to the devil, Truly a one of a kind.

Tazio Nuvolari. The greatest of them all. Visited his museum in Mantova in the 80s. Bravo! TFP

Nuvolari, "Il Campionissimo", the greatest among the greats drivers in the history of motorsports.

When Nuvolari found he was too small to wrestle the behemoth race cars of the 20s around corners, he used their power to slide them through corners. Voila,, the four-wheel drift.

How wonderful. It is also a nice name. It was among the names we had chosen for my son.

One of the greatest of all time.🏁

A genious, a fabulous Driver!

1935 The N'ring GP. I think I was about 9 or 10 years old (1970) when I read a story about Nuvolari's victory in the Alfa Romeo over the Mercs and Auto-Unions. Easily the most exciting and thrilling story I'd ever read and of course it is a genuine all time great legend of an event. Wonderful documentary with an excellent choice of music.

When I go to my family home in mantua I always have to go to see his monument in the park as a tribute to the greatest driver of his time who my father was so proud of .. RIP

Tazio was another great, right up there at the top among other greats. During that era if you won races, drove for many teams, and weren't killed in a race car, that was quite an accomplishment.

I went to the American High School in Ludwigsburg from 1961 until 1965 while my father was stationed there in the US Army. In the summers we did as much traveling as we could manage, in a VW Westphalia camper. We were able to visit many of the race courses of that time but also several that were from the pre-war era. One of things that really were apparent to me was the extremely dangerous conditions of many of the tracks. Granted, everything advances through evolution but the frequent fatal injuries of so many of the drivers in those early years made the determination of those competitors truly amazing.

This guy and Fangio were my Grandad's heroes. Says it all

Coincidentally my grandfather Ron Roycroft of New Zealand owned and raced Nouvolari's GP winning P3 Alfa for many years to great success in NZ and the late great Stirling Moss said that my grandfather Ron's skills and driving style was just like the Great Fangio. Sadly grandad didn't get on the world stage to become legendary like Nouvolari and Fangio but fortunately owned and raced some of histories finest motor cars not only the P3 but also including ex Gonzalez GP winning 375 Ferrari which was certainly a stable of pedigree race cars among a wonderful collection including his type 35a Bugatti and a Parry-Thomas special, just to name a few to be proud of. The latter two cars are still owned by our family.

L'Italia e gli Italiani hanno sempre avuto una marcia in più! Torneremo come allora ed in questo 2021 lo stiamo dimostrando. Grande Tazio! W l'Italia! 🇮🇹

Tazio was the greatest Driver of all times as Ferdinand Porsche stated he not only invented the drift on 4 wheels and therefore Rally sport but also the Technic of sidecar racing been two and four wheel Champion when he said to his mechanic to duck on the floor of the car for stability purpose in the corners thats exactly what sidecar racing corner Technic is.. Physics applied to driving/racing...

Didn't know. Miracles he survived in the cars. Amazing man.

JUST DISCOVERED THIS DRIVER, HOLY SCHNIKYS, THAT ERA, THOSE CARS, THEM CONDITIONS, MINIMAL SAFETY, HUGE CAHOUNNES BUDDY!!!

While taking a break in USA, it's a shame he wasn't asked to drive the Novi V-8 in the Indy 500. Nuvolari seemed to have an uncanny ability to understand his machinery's capabilities and quirks. The combination of his abilities and the Novi's awesome power could have put him in the winner's circle for Novi's only win. Nuvolari was a great driver of great courage. Thank you.

Nuvolari was and is the greatest of all time! A wonderful short documentary.... Thank you.

@John Stauffer - Very little! He was blessed with driving skills other drivers just couldn't master. "The Flying Mantuan". The Japanese think they invented "drifting". They really owe it to Nuvolari who was first to realize its controlled use and benefits in racing.

Again a pleasure to have watched Nuvolari's story, the greatest of the greats. Almost shed a tear but really glad he didn't die in a car accident.

Excellent video! The Flying Mantuan was a driver I feel ranked right along with Fangio, both exceptional and intuitive drivers. I would love to visit Nuvolari's museum in Mantua! I can only imagine how embarrassed and pissed off the German aristocracy was when this little Italian, in an outdated, underpowered Alfa Romeo, beat the mighty Mercedes and Auto Unions in the German GP, no less! They say that while the crowd applauded loudly for Tazio's victory, the Third Reich was incensed! Arriva Tazio! 😇🏁

Actually the orgainizers were appalled to confess nobody thought to carry the italian anthem for the podium ceremony. When they told Nuvolari he just smiled and showed a record from under his jacket "does not matter, you can use my own". Just like that. The man was a legend. And stop mocking the Alfa P3. Yes it was underpowered in compare with Benz and A.U., but it was much lighter and more nimble, and in fact it won. No driver can be faster than his car. Pay respect to the P3, undisputed winner of every GP for a decade. Auto Unions were notorious for killing their drivers because of sudden, unpredictable oversteering. It took Nuvolari, the perfect drifter, to help about wrong camber that made the car undrivable. Alfa Romeo in the '30ies "poor quality racing cars", poor quality your sister, maybe.

@@ilmaio - Sir, I absolutely was not mocking the iconic Alfa Romeo P3. I was simply saying that it, and all other GP cars of the time, was not as powerful or technologically advanced as the German GP cars. By the way, did you miss the part in this video where Tazio quit the Alfa Romeo Team in 1938 due to his frustration with the poor quality of their racing machines? I am well aware of the history of the P3 and the amazing capabilities of Vittorio Yano's exceptional engines. You need not extol the virtues of Tazio Nuvolari either, as I am well aware of his accomplishments in GP racing. He was clearly the finest driver of his time and was one of the very few who was capable of winning a race in a vehicle unsuitable for it! By most people's account he was the finest driver of his time, and likely one of the best ever. I really detest people who try and put words in my mouth that I never said! Nowhere in my comments did I ever say that Alfas were poor quality racing cars. I am 74 and have followed motor racing - road racing - for my entire life. Tazio is my favorite driver of his time and I had hoped to visit his museum in Mantua some day, but that is not likely now. I love Alfas of that time period too, having built 2, 1:8 (large scale) model kits: A 1931 8C - 2300 Monza and a 1932 Spider Touring Gran Sport. These kits were made by Pocher Model Cars of Torino and are primarily assembled with machine screws rather than glue, and have upwards of 2,000 individual parts. I am very proud of both of them. Today they are quite valuable as the family started company is out of business. An English company bought the rites to use the name Pocher so the name Pocher is still seen. The original kits were $150 - $250 back in the late 1960s and '70s. You will have to pay over $1,000 today, if you can find one. I hope that you have some respect now for my feelings about a wonderful race car as well as an incredibly talented driver. 🏆

In quegl' anni correre su quelle strade con quelle vetture era davvero come sfidare la morte ad ogni gara...per le imprese che ci hai regalato e per essere stato il primo a derapare in curva per me sarai sempre il n1...Senna non me ne volere.

Jour après jour c'est un plaisir sans cesse renouvelé de parfaire où de former des gens à la connaissance.

Absolute legend & icon. Really driven - right til the end of his life. There were a lot of parallels between him & Senna - always winning in poor cars, driving with broken bones (even both reaching out the car whilst driving mid-race to reach engine & radiator valves to release pressure - with their broken bones - & taking the triple in the race, pole, fastest lap, win). The cars they drove back then too - old tin-tops that disintegrated in a crash. That almost parallel side camber death trap road on the old Monza track that you can still walk along today which they drove on at top speed 2 & 3 abreast. FFS! NIce to see Fangio, Ascari, Stuck & Caracciola (who still holds an unbeaten record in Grands Prix today - can he make it to 100 years?) in the videos too. Total courage & pure class. No one in F1 today matches these guys today. Awesome xx

Great video, thanks for the upload, i will watch this again. I think he was probably the greatest driver ever.

Absolutely brilliant

Amazing documentary... will be recommending to my friends and watch with my dad

Simply W O W! 🇮🇹👍😃

Broke Le Mans lap record in first attempt at the race. Not in this bio is a story I read years ago, can't recall what race, but Tazio, allagedly had to be dragged away from his blazing Alfa as he tried to push it over the line. What a guy!

IL piu grande pilota di tutti I tempi

Thank you for this great tribute video. I have the utmost respect for this exceptional racing driver and gentleman. Although he lived and raced way before I was born. A lot of people underestimate the achievements of the drivers in this era. It's almost beyond my comprehension what kind of tracks and hours long races they dealt with. Without any significant safety at all. And the cars they drove often were real beasts to drive.

What a hero!

Great documentary video. I went to the REVs Institute near Fort Meyers, Florida this past weekend and they have some cars that were driven by Nuvolari. He was an amazing character and a fantastic driver.

What a star,a real racer on two and four wheels,not like the ponces of today.

Fantastic short documentary on a true world champion. I recall, as an eight your child, first hearing about him on an Italian TV program about Tazio Nuvolari due to the very load and passionate narrator saying the following:"Tazio Nuvolari a le curve, gli altri frenano ma lui accelera!! " - meaning: While others brake for the curves, Tazio Nuvolari accelerates!! Fantastic. Grazie BSP Vintage.

Legend!! Great video

Very enjoyable, thanks. It is just a pity that it does not develop the heroic part of the post-war period, his decisive role in the development of the Cisitalia, the Mille Miglia races as a protagonist with Cisitalia and Ferrari. After the death of his 2 young children from illness and severe lung health problems of Tazio, he continued to race like crazy, perhaps seeking death in the race instead of in bed.

Excellent. Thank You! Its understood that there is a lot of silent 'B' roll as sound was generally not in Newsreels until 1932-3. Very good job with the music, captions, historical accuracy. Beautiful!

What could possibly make someone think music belongs in an auto race film??!?

This is a poor quality video despite the apparently noble intentions. Note the video of Hans Hermann rolling his car at the Avus circuit, presumably used in place of footage of Nuvolari crashing on his Alfa debut. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a decent bia of Tazio.
