Fangi0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Now you mention it - There is some resemblance! Maybe young Tazio had a weekend break in Venuzuela all those years and sired Maldo's grandfather or something - what an unfortunate weekend that was!. But Maldo is not fit to lick the great Nuvolari's boots Nothing like him.

Norman Verona Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Of course I did. It's an enlargement of a Churchman's Cigarette card. I enlarged it They have the same elongated shape face but that's it. One has a large dimple in his chin the other hasn't. One could drive a car like no man before or since, the other can't.

pistonbroke Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Mille Miglia of 1930 would go down in history when Nuvolari caught an unsuspecting Varzi while driving in the night sans headlights. Three kilometers from the finish he suddenly pulled along side, smiling at his startled teammate he flicked on his headlights and powered on to victory. One of many fascinating and true stories about the great man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabs23 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 its ok if you drive a Ferrari Fixed that for you. :d 20 second penalty for Maldonado so no point for him today. He'd probably much rather have that than 5 places on the grid at the next race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
