Alfa Romeo built and raced it between 1932\nand 1936. Initially as a factory race car for Alfa Romeo, then later under the\nScuderia Ferrari label after having taken over Alfa Romeos racing activities.\nThe car, designed by the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano, was based on the\nequally legendary Alfa Romeo 8C models. The P3 was Alfa Romeos second\nsingle-seater after the Tipo-A monoposto of 1931.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eProduct\nDescription\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Klausen Race, otherwise known as the “Hill Climb Grand\nPrix of Switzerland”, is a true classic among hill climbing events. It\nattracted the best racing drivers to Central Switzerland Alps between 1922 and\n1934 and was one of the ten races to form the first European Hill Climb\nChampionship in 1930. On the 21.5-km gravel road that led from Linthal to the\ntop of the Klausen Pass, racecars had to negotiate 156 serpentine curves and an\nelevation of 1,237 meters along the way. Spectators from all over the world\narrived to watch the spectacle directly from the side of the road. Anyone who\nconquered the hair-raising Klausen Pass as a victor was among the greatest\nracing drivers back then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA fine troop of leading racecars and drivers got together\nhere in August 1932. There were works entries from Auto Union, Maserati,\nMercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo. Independent entries were placed by people like\nBurggaller, Steinweg, Zanelli, Rey, Chambost, Strazza, Tuffanelli, Maag,\nStuber, Ruesch, Sojka and Hans Kessler. Among the English drivers besides Penn\nHughes were H. C. Hamilton, driving a Magnette for the Whitney Straight\nSyndicate, Cormack with his supercharged Alta, and Miss Ellison with her\nBugatti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLike the adventurous racing drivers, the Klausen spectators\nwere a hardy lot, who were prepared for the worst. There was noise of rushing\nwater everywhere, and all streams were being flooded to the brim with swirling\nbrown water. It made people wonder what if a torrent burst its banks. Even in\nAugust, heavy snowfall was still a possibility. There was also the\nKilchenstoek, a mountain where boulders and rocks rumble down the hillside\ncontinually, albeit in fine weather. In winter time, the Klausen pass was\nclosed because of avalanch danger, especially between Linthal and Urnerboden,\nwhere the bumpy road opened up to the view of a 5-km long plateau on one side\nand a granite wall on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1932 was a spectacular year at the Klausen Hill Climb race.\nThe sports car went up first on August 7. A good climb was made by Tazio\nNuvolari with an Alfa Romeo 8C in the 3,000 cc class, but the first place went\nto Hans Stuck on the Mercedes-Benz SSKL. In the race car class (unlimited),\nBugatti pitted its three-time winner Louis Chiron and Achille Varzi on the\nBugatti T53 against Rudolf Caracciola in an Alfa Romeo P3 monoposto with start\nnumber 95. The Bugatti pilots ended chasing Caracciola all the way from behind,\nbut to no avail. Caracciola carried the day and set a new record time for\n15m50s. Two years later, racing the Klausen race for Mercedes-Benz in 1934, he\nwould improve his record to 15m22s.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"CMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45784951455827,"sku":"CMC M-224","price":1210.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/2412\/0659\/files\/57_12ce9078-8979-4d7c-89d3-3ece13f19f12.png?v=1783204494","url":"https:\/\/strawhatjim.com.au\/products\/cmc-m-224-alfa-romeo-p3-caracciola-gp-klausen-race-95-1-18-le-1-000","provider":"Straw Hat Jim","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
