How he did that I don't know, and passed car after car and was up to second place heading into the last lap. Nuvolari somehow managed to make up all of the 6 minutes. At this moment Nuvolari produced the greatest drive of his life. To put that in perspective if you lost that amount of time at Monaco in current Formula 1 machinery you would be around 5 laps down. This lost Nuvolari a full six minutes of time. The fuel pump in the pits broke so Nuvolari's car had to be filled up by fuel left in cans, manually by the mechanics. Disaster doesn't even begin to describe it.

Nuvolari worked his way up to second and then it came to his pit stop. He drove his Alfa on the very limit and gradually caught up the cars the leaders and when the leaders pitted he moved up the order. However, Nuvolari on the most challenging race track of them all began his fight back. The race from their should of been a formality for the Germans using their power advantage to blast away from the field. Balestrero crashed immediately and Nuvolari had a truly appalling start, dropping him from second down to fifth as the German cars blasted past. When it came to the race though things couldn't of started much worse for the Alfas.

Whatever the German teams or drivers were trying it didn't work. Rather incredibly two of the underpowered Alfa Romeos managed to beat the German machines at the front with Renato Balestrero on pole with Nuvolari second, Stuck third, Lang fifth, Caracciola seventh and Rosemeyer way down in twelfth.
