The French Grand Prix at Montlhéry, near Paris on 1st July 1934.
This race was billed as a great duel between the established Italian & French (Alfa, Bugatti & Maserati) teams and the new German teams (Mercedes & Auto Union). No German cars finished this race, but thereafter they would dominate Grand Prix racing until WW2.
No.12 Louis Chiron won in an Alfa Romeo Tipo B/P3 for Scuderia Ferrari.
Chiron's Ferrari team mates are second - No.6 Achille Varzi - and third - No.20 Felice Trossi / Guy Moll (shared drive). No.16 Robert Benoist in a Bugatti T59 was fouth. No other cars finished.
00:21 - No.4 Hans Stuck & No.10 August Momberger (both Auto Union).
00:47 - No.16 Robert Benoist (Bugatti T59).
00:59 - No.14 Tazio Nuvolari / Jean-Pierre Wimille (Bugatti T59).
