1932 Mille Miglia

The Race & Results In Detail

The 1932 Mille Miglia Race

Results: 1932 Mille Miglia Results / Dates: April 9-10, 1932 / Winner: Borzacchini – Bignami / Winning Speed: 68.67 mph / Starters: 88 / Finishers: 42

The hoped for increase in foreign entrants as a result of Caracciola’s triumph the previous year did not materialize. In fact the numbers of total entrants continued to decrease and it was left to Alfa Romeo to provide 40% of the cars that did take part. Caracciola himself would be racing an Alfa Romeo this year as Mercedes had quit racing both officially and unofficially. Alfa Romeo’s 8C 2300 proved to be the top car on the international scene and for the Mille Miglia the factory had cars for Caracciola, Borzacchini, Campari and Nuvolari. Missing was Luigi Arcangeli who was killed practicing for the Italian Grand Prix. Varzi showed up driving a Bugatti T55.
