Question
What year did Nuvollari win the Mille Miglia

Answer
Hi John:

I did a web search on 'Google' for Tazio Nuvolari, after scrolling through ALL his results, found that he first won the Mille Miglia on April 12-13, 1930 in an Alfa Romeo. Average speed was 100.45 KPH, overal elapsed time was 16 hours 19 minutes.  That's all the info there was, though his web page is quite complete and someone who was interested in his career and history could spend hours there snooping around.

Enjoy !

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
