1951

Grand Prix in 1951 promised to be a showdown between Alfa Romeo and Ferrari. Sports car racing was going from strength to strength, with Le Mans and the tourist’s trophy as standouts. It all started in January, with a wintery Monte Carlo Rally, the cars travelling from Glasgow to Monte Carlo through the treacherous Alps. The journey took four days and three nights, the winner a Frenchman by the name of Jean Trevoux, driving a Delahaye. Also featuring in 1951 was the Swiss Grand Prix, won in extreme conditions by Juan Manuel Fangio in the Alfa Romeo 159, over Piero Taruffi, in his Ferrari 375.
