Limited Edition 021/100 Pcs - Size 70x50 cm. - With Certificate
There was a high quality entry at the French GP with all the top teams present. Caracciola made his return to Grand Prix racing at Montlhéry after a 14 month long pause. He still had great problems to walk, but once in the car he soon put in some very respectable laps.
Fagioli had crushed the old lap record of 5m19s by doing a 5m11.8s lap during a Mercedes test on the track two weeks before the race. During practice von Brauchitsch showed the speed of the Mercedes cars by lowering that record to 5m05.6s.
During the practice the Auto Unions were suffering from fuel pump trouble while Mercedes suffered from steering problems and high tyre wear. The Bugattis, which arrived at the last moment, had plug trouble and Ètancelin had both ignition and carburettor problems to worry about.
Chiron took the flag to the joy of the spectators. Varzi half a lap behind finished second as Moll did a late pit stop, dropping back to third. Chiron had won a great and popular victory. But from now on the Germans were to dominate Grand Prix racing.
