To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Tazio Nuvolari’s famous victory at Donington Park in the 1938 Grand Prix, a new plaque has been struck and unveiled at the circuit.
Taking place on October 22, 1938, the race was an 80-lap affair and the 17 starters included some of the greatest names and cars of the era.
