In the early going of the 1934 Coppa Acerbo, in Pescara, Italy, Hans Stuck’s Auto Union Type A led Achille Varzi’s Alfa Romeo P3, but in the end the race produced victory for the Mercedes-Benz, driven by Luigi Fagioli.

First, Louis Chiron’s car caught fire at the pits and was completely destroyed, then Guy Moll had a terrible crash that took his life.
