==Biography==
Nuvolari started [[Motorcycle sport|racing motorcycles]] in 1920 at the age of 27, winning the 1925 [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing European Champions|350cc European Championship]]. Having raced cars as well as motorcycles from 1925 until 1930, he then concentrated on cars, and won the 1932 European Championship with the [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport|Alfa Romeo]] factory team, [[Alfa Corse]].

After Alfa Romeo officially withdrew from Grand Prix racing, Nuvolari drove for [[Scuderia Ferrari]]. The team was owned by [[Enzo Ferrari]], who ran the Alfa Romeo cars semi-officially. In 1933, Nuvolari won Le Mans in an Alfa Romeo as a member of Ferrari's team, and a month later won the Belgian Grand Prix in a works [[Maserati 8CM|Maserati]], having switched teams a week before the race.{{sfn|Hilton|2003|page=111}} [[Benito Mussolini|Mussolini]] helped persuade Ferrari to take Nuvolari back for 1935, and in that year he won the [[1935 German Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]] in Ferrari's outdated [[Alfa Romeo P3|Alfa Romeo]], defeating more powerful rivals from [[Mercedes-Benz W25|Mercedes-Benz]] and [[Auto Union racing car|Auto Union]]. It was the only time a non-German car won a European Championship race from 1935 to 1939.

The relationship with Ferrari deteriorated during 1937, and Nuvolari raced an Auto Union in that year's [[Swiss Grand Prix]]. He rejoined the Auto Union team for the 1938 season and stayed with them through 1939 until Grand Prix racing was put on hiatus by [[World War II]]. The only major European race he never won was the [[Czechoslovakian Grand Prix]].

When Nuvolari resumed racing after the war he was 54 and in poor health. In his final appearance in competition, driving a [[Cisitalia|Cisitalia-Abarth Tipo 204A]] at a [[Palermo]] hillclimb on 10 April 1950, he won his class and placed fifth overall. He died in 1953 from a stroke.
