1939 Auto Union Type D Slot Car 1/32

1939 Auto Union Type D

For 1939 the Auto Union team continued to develop their
D-type, adding two stage supercharging for better
performance. At the end of the season the rear engine
Auto Union cars probably held an edge in road holding
over any other car in the world at that time.

Tazio Nuvolari continued as team leader with Hans Stuck,
Rudolf Hasse and Hermann Müller as the other drivers.
Motorcycle driver Georg "Schorsch" Meier was added to
the team as junior driver with Ulrich Bigalke functioning as
reserve.

The picture to the left shows Nuvolari battling it out in the
German Grand Prix of 1939, unfortunately after leading for
5 laps went out of the race with a blown engine.

GP005 is our slot car interpretation of the last Auto Union
to ever grace the track. It combines the detail of the
popular injection moulded static kit into a resin body
suitable for slot car racing.
