The flight of Mantua

Dr. Ferdinand Porsche called him "the best driver in the past, present and future." His name was Tazio Nuvolari and continued a career racing motorcycles and two cars. Tazio was born on November 16, 1892 in Castel d'Ario, Italy. Both his father, Arthur, and his older brother, Giuseppe were motorcyclists and Giuseppe had won the Italian national championship more than once.

Just four weeks after his accident, he had changed his Maserati to use all the pedals with his left foot and competed in the race AVUS-Rennen with his right leg in a cast. Because of leg cramps, crossed the finish line in fifth position.
