The World Championship Of 1950

Command Mercedes in the mid-thirties strongly kept an in the lead position. Karachcholoj in 1935 won all most important races for a rank of the champion of Europe. Everything, except one. This race passed on frightening complexity to a legendary line "Nurnburgring" where 300 thousand spectators hoped to see the next victory of the favourites.

In the end of the first circle Alfa Romeo P3 of Nuvolari there was after going the first Karachcholoj. To the ninth circle ahead of it already there was a beginner from the Automobile union Bernd Rozemajer, and also Fadzhioli and Shiron on Alfa Romeo. Nuvolari it was necessary to stop to replace rubber.

That occurred then, does not give in to any reasonable explanation. Earlier nobody saw so brilliant struggle in race and this arrival in Njurburge became history of motor racing as unique event. After four-hour (!) struggle on wearisome, abounding with rises and descents to a line, being in a desperate situation and having in an arsenal not the fastest car, the Italian managed to escape on the second place. With it it was helped by the natural gift yes freshening a rain which brought to nothing confident driving of many pilots.

To last circle of Nuvolari reduced the rupture to the leader (which became by then a background of Brauhich on Mercedes) till 45 seconds, and other contenders outran more than for a minute. Time to catch up and try to attack the leader any more does not remain.

And here the destiny presented Tatsio a gift – at Brauhicha the wheel unexpectedly blew up! In the face of the events which have grown dumb with such turning movement of German fans the Italian the first comes in finish! Skill of the pilot + luck in the fullness of time helped Nuvolari to arrange much stronger contenders.

Certainly, the victory of Tatsio was only an annoying prick to prestige of German motor racing, after all Mercedes celebrated a victory both in personal (Karachcholoj), and in informal command offset. But already next year the Automobile union pressed them from the first position. The rank of the champion of Europe passed to the former expert of motorcycle sport of Rozemajeru at which order there was an improved race car «B».

Роземайер was an embodiment of a Hitlerite ideal of the true Aryan – the beautiful blonde capable of a feat for the sake of the country. «Bernd does not know fear literally, and it is not always good», - so commented on the defeat from German Karachchola. – «We, the colleagues-racers loving speed, are afraid for it each time when it leaves on a line. To tell the truth, I do not think that he long lives».

As it is sad, but it appeared the rights. In 1938 at attempt to establish a new record of speed Rozemajer was lost. It in a command, at last, was replaced with Nuvolari, but Karachchole in the third time for four years could not prevent to win a title of the champion of Europe.

Not always racers who chose as ideal means for propagation, justified hopes, of them assigned. After one race where Rozemajera once again at the expense of more reasonable pilotage arranged Karachchola, the German threw out a joke remembered for a long time.

Adolf Hunljajn appointed Hitler to supervise motor racing, the convinced nazi, creaking heart handed over to the winner a prize in the form of a figure of the goddess of speed. When Hunljajn turned to spectators a back, Rozemajer smoking a cigarette, took out it from a mouth and thrust to its Adolf below a back. The crowd laughed, the nazi sharply turned back, but the racer already again unperturbably smoked, representing an innocent smile. Speak, Hunljajn rushed with the complaint to the Fuhrer, but it besieged, telling that to heroes of German motor racing all can escape punishment.
