Page "Tazio Nuvolari" Paragraph 25

At the start of 1934, Nuvolari entered the Monaco Grand Prix in a privately owned Bugatti.

Having made it up to third place in the race, he suffered brake troubles and fell back to fifth at the finish, two laps behind the winner, Guy Moll.

Whilst racing at Alessandria in the Circuito di Pietro Bordino race, Nuvolari crashed whilst avoiding Carlo Felice Trossi's stricken car.

He broke a leg, but suffering from boredom in hospital, he decided to enter the AVUS-Rennen just over four weeks after his accident.

His Maserati was specially modified so that he could use all three of its pedals with his left foot ; his right was still in plaster.

Troubled by cramp, Nuvolari finished fifth.
