B ernd Rosemeyer (Germany, 1909–1938)
Bernd Rosemeyer was one of the most fascinating racing drivers of the pre-war era—fast, uncompromising, and highly talented. Originally a motorcyclist, he joined the Auto Union racing team in 1935, where he attracted attention with his daredevil driving style and sensational victories. His victories in the Coppa Acerbo, the German Grand Prix, and the Lausitz Tour made him a national icon. He tragically died in a 1938 accident during a record attempt on the Frankfurt-Darmstadt Autobahn. Rosemeyer is still considered a legend in German motorsport history.
Richard Seaman (United Kingdom, 1913–1939)
Briton Richard Seaman was one of the few foreign drivers to drive for a German factory team in the pre-war period – for Mercedes-Benz. He impressed with his technical finesse, tactical composure, and international class. In 1938, he won the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring – a historically explosive victory for an Englishman driving a Silver Arrow, in the midst of the Nazi era. His life ended tragically in 1939 in an accident at the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamps. Seaman was a gentleman racer of world-class stature.

T azio Nuvolari (Italy, 1892–1953)
Tazio Nuvolari was the epitome of the passionate racing driver—uncompromising, fearless, and almost superhumanly talented. The "Flying Mantuan" won countless motorcycle and car races for Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Auto Union, and Ferrari. His legendary victories in the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, and the 1935 German Grand Prix—where he defeated the overwhelming power of the German Silver Arrows with a technically inferior Alfa Romeo—made him a legend. Nuvolari was more than a racing driver: he was a national hero, admired even by his greatest competitors.
