Germany - the first Grand Prix

Rudolf Carracciola won his country’s first officially recognised Grand Prix at the Nurburgring on

July 19th 1931.

Known as “The Rainmaster” for his prowess in wet driving

conditions, Carracciola won the race in his Mercedes-Benz

SSK in a time of 4hrs 38mins 10 seconds.

It was around this time that the Mercedes and Auto Union

team stripped the white paint from their cars to meet the

scrutineers 750 kilogram weight limit - they where

weighing in at 751kg - and in so doing revealed the

gleaming aluminium body of the car which gave rise to the

nickname “Silver Arrows”. They also managed to make the

weight limit as well!
