Product Description

Rino Rao brings to the fore Rudolf Caracciola, a “titan of the steering wheel” on whom, in Italy, unlike Nuvolari, whose myth is very much alive, he has fallen into painful oblivion. The author, after careful historiographical investigations, narrated the complex human and sporting story of the great Rhenish of ancient and noble Italian origins. In his very rich palmares stand out the triumphs in red captured in ’32 with Alfa Romeo, the harvest of victories with the glorious Mercedes SSKL with which, the first foreigner, he also triumphed at the Mille Miglia in ’31 and with the “arrows of silver ”, at the wheel of which he dominated the Grand Prix scenario of the second half of the thirties.

Campari, a great champion who began as a test driver giving his contribution to the improvement of series and competition cars and who later took the name of Italy to victory on the European tracks, when nationalism was also evident on the circuits.
