INTRODUCTION:This was the last year of the 750 kg formula and the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union drivers could race on more or less equal terms. Both Rosemeyer and Caracciola won 4 races each but it was Caracciola who won the "right" races to become European champion in 1937.1937 was the year when the development of the Grand Prix cars reached its climax. The new Mercedes-Benz W125 car with its 575 BHP engine was the most powerful Grand Prix car the world had ever seen. It was not until the turbo years in the early 80s that Grand Prix racing again would see such engine power. While the German government was supporting the German racing car manufacturers with subsidies and army contracts, high salary French bureaucrats were sitting in committees discussing how to spend the 1,500,000 francs they had collected since 1934 to support French GP racing from increased driving license fees and public collections. Finally they announced that 1 million francs should go to the French car built to the 1938 formula that could run 200km at a speed exceeding 146.5 km/h (Note 1) by the widest margin on the Montlhéry track before 1 September 1937. |

![]() | MID APRIL 1937: April the Auto Union team arrived with Rosemeyer, von Delius and Hasse for a three day test session on the new AVUS track. They used last year's racing cars but fitted with considerable larger tires. Continental had developed 24 inch racing tires, which proved their worth during the test runs, withstanding the immense pressures that result when going through the North Turn. At his first laps Rosemeyer in the Auto Union streamliner had gone too high into the steep curve, the car was carried up to the edge of the wall and for seconds the right wheels scraped the upper bead boarder. The car swerved but Rosemeyer saved the situation and possibly his life as well. Thereupon the Avus directors had a white warning line painted two meters from the upper edge of the wall, making orientation significantly easier. |

He was taken to hospital and left it three days later with a plaster corset. His car was taken over by Pintacuda. In the race the four Ferrari entered Alfas were of course in a class of their own. But the team had problems of boiling radiators and all had to stop for water, except for Brivio who went on to win the race. DNS/DNA: 56 W Martin (Bugatti), 58?

CIRCUITO DI TORINO PARCO VALENTINO -Torino (I), 18 APRIL 1937 VOITURETTE 1500cc (hot) 40 laps x 2.925 km = 117.00 km, 16 starters There were 10 private Maseratis at Turin and also the Maserati works team was back with two 6CM for Bianco and Dreyfus. The ERA works team did not start. Bira's Delage was not ready so he raced his ERA instead. The works Maseratis took the early lead from Bira. Bira passed Dreyfus on lap 4 and attacked Bianco, who used some dirty maneuvers to keep the lead, the Italian flag marshals looking in the opposite direction. But when Bianco lost his goggles the angry Siamese was finally able to pass only to retire soon afterwards with gearbox problems. Bjørnstad, who had spun on lap 2, had come back through the field using unique ice racing style driving technique and was able to pass Bianco and take the lead with 5 laps to go and finished the race as a surprise vinner.

28-29 APRIL 1937: Daimler-Benz and Auto Union conducted a second test session at AVUS. Mercedes used a 1936 GP car
and a new streamliner with the 5.58 litre V-12 engine. Auto Union came with a streamliner that
had the present GP chassis and engine but the fully enveloping body . These three cars put in many laps over the next
two days doing aerodynamic tests and finding out about handling, tires and fuel. The tests were supervised by the technical
directors Sailer from Mercedes-Benz and Werner from Auto Union. It was realized, that the fastest and safest way through the North Turn was in the middle of the track
where a rather high speed could be reached and one had the possibility to correct the car if needed.
On the first day Caracciola bettered Hans Stuck's 1935 lap record from 260.5 km to 267 km/h, followed by a 268 km/h lap by
von Brauchitsch. Next day Bernd Rosemeyer raised the inofficial record to 281.09 km/h by doing a lap in 4:07.
The tyres caused the main problem, with the wear highest on the left rear. The latest 24" tyres from Continental, made of synthetic Buna-rubber only surviving four laps at top speed by von Brauchitsch. |
I CAMPBELL TROPHY BROOKLANDS (GB), 1 MAY 1937 (Saturday) >1500CC 100 laps x 3.648 km = 364.8 km, 35 entries, 22 starters GP cars and voiturettes raced together on the new Campbell road racing course at Brooklands. There was a big entry list including 6 ERAs. Bira took the lead with his Maserati and held it during the first ten laps but then he was passed by Earl Howe (ERA) who was doing an inspired race and during the next 15 laps the spectators were able to see a magnificent performance. The ERA voiturette was holding the lead from a car with twice the engine volume. But on lap 26 Howe's 53th birthday ended in tragedy as the veteran driver struck an earth bank on the Vickers bridge and overturned his car, suffering a bad head wound and several internal injuries. Bira just managed to miss the wrecked ERA and went on to win the GP class while Rayson took over the lead in the voiturette class and also held if for the rest of the race. Practically all the ERAs struck trouble, Mays and Dobson with the brakes, Tongue with the engine and Walker with the gearbox. A few laps from finish Ashby's Alfa Romeo, raced by Duller, had to retire with engine trouble and Scribbans was able to pass to finish fourth and best of the ERA drivers that day. The single works ERA driven by Mays/Fairfield finished a disappointing 7th, 8 laps behind. Grid:

XI° GRAN PREMIO DI TRIPOLI AUTODROMO DI MELLAHA - Tripoli (I), 9 MAY 1937, FORMULA LIBRE 40 laps x 13.140 km = 525.6 km
The first major Grand Prix race of the year was the money-filled and fast Tripoli GP with its state lottery. Auto Union entered no less than five cars and Mercedes-Benz was finally back with four of their new W125s. The practice started off in a gloomy mood as reports about the fate of the zeppelin Hindenburg was coming in.(Note 2) Stuck made the fastest time of 3:19.0 (235.4 km/h) in practice followed by Caracciola and Rosemeyer. Nuvolari was able to do just a 3:33. The car was running on 11 cylinders but he was still a good 10 seconds faster than any other Ferrari driver. Seaman, who did his first race for Mercedes-Benz, sat in a racing car for the first time since his Monza crash. Grid:
Caracciola was back in the lead. Fagioli had re-passed Lang and attacked his former team mate, who answered the challenge. Fagioli was the one who had to give up when a rear wheel lost its tread. Von Brauchitsch was the next one in the lead only to fall back after only one lap. Caracciola made a pitstop on lap 14 as the first Mercedes driver, leaving the lead over to Lang. Lang held the lead for just a short time because on lap 16 the Mercedes driver, who was saving his tyres, was passed by a trio of Rosemeyer, von Brauchitsch and Fagioli who were racing each other. Caracciola had problems with sand in the supercharger and had lost his contact with the leaders. Not surprisingly four laps later the leading trio, who had been racing flat out, got tyre problems and Lang was again back at the front. Seaman was now second in his first race for Mercedes but on his second pitstop a mechanic put a rag in the supercharger intake to hinder sand from coming in during the stop and then forgot to take it out again before the car left. The rag blocked the supercharger and Seaman fell back behind the Auto Unions. Down the field there was a tough fight for fifth place between Caracciola and Fagioli, the Mercedes driver hindering the Auto Union from passing. The Auto Union team blundered during Rosemeyer's last stop. They were out of fuel in the pits and the Auto Union driver, who had gone flat out during the whole race, had a miserable 1:45 pitstop. Now the Mercedes time keeper made a mistake believing Rosemeyer to be two laps behind instead of just one. In fact, coming out from his pitstop, Rosemeyer quickly unlapped himself and started to catch Lang, who was cruising totally unaware of the situation. It almost worked. If Lang hadn't decided to speed up during the last kilometers the Auto Union might have caught him, because at the end the difference was less than 10 seconds. The Auto Union mechanics had changed 35 tyres during the race, Stuck alone had done 7 pitstops! This was Lang's first victory and also the first for the new Mercedes car, winning first time out. Right at the end of the race a furious Fagioli had finally forced his way past Caracciola. After the race the Auto Union driver rushed to the Mercedes pit and flung a wheel hammer at Caracciola, fortunately missing his head by an inch. Fagioli was dragged away before he could continue the attack.(Note 4)
