Great Cars : SILVER ARROWS

Hitler was determined to dominate the world with his machines. He funded the racing efforts of Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union (Audi) and encouraged them to create the most powerful and futuristic autos ever produced. These aerodynamic Grand Prix racers were designed to rule the racing world. To many, it is the golden age of Grand Prix racing, but to some it was an ominous foreshadowing of how Germany would attempt to conquer the world with its machines. But the arrogant German racing effort would get its comeuppance from an Italian driver, Tazio Nuvolari, who beat them on their home turf in a "down-to-the-wire" race to the finish at the German Grand Prix. It was proof that the German juggernaut wasn’t invincible. But these cars remain awe inspiring today.

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.

I just have to say I love these shows!! Thank you so much!!

[@lbowsk]

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.

[@carlsmyth7198]

Very well done

[@VinnyDaQ]

Tazio Nuvolari was the Mario Andretti of his day - able to win no matter what he drove.

[@oletag4625]

Отличное видео! Но немного короткое, чтобы рассказать обо всех Великих гонщиках той эпохи.

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

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)...

[@mariapires7170]

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!

[@JungleYT]

Well done, as they say in the UK... LOL
