@carTOON Doing my (small, easy) bit for the cause.
"For 1936, the Királyi Magyar Automobil Club (KMAC) was granted the right to organize an international race by the AIACR. The first Hungarian Grand Prix, ever.
Népliget Park ("Peoples' Park"), the biggest public park of Budapest, just east of the city centre, was selected as the venue, and work began to improve the roads in the park.
Auto Union sent three cars for Stuck, Varzi and Rosemeyer. Daimler-Benz sent three cars as well, for Caracciola, von Brauchitsch and Chiron. Scuderia Ferrari decided to send two of their 8C cars for Nuvolari and Tadini, gambling the less powerful but more responsive cars had an edge on this twisty circuit.
At the start, Rosemeyer took the lead followed by Stuck. For the first half of the 50 laps, the Silver Arrows held the top positions, but...
Nuvolari, who had saved his tyres during the first part of the race, took the lead on lap 35 of 50, from Rosemeyer's Auto Union. On the 41st lap, he lowered the lap record to 2m35.68s.
The Scuderia Ferrari strategy had proved correct. On the twisty circuit the Alfa Romeo had the edge over the Auto Union. The rear-engine car was oversteering, and in the sharp corners the steering wheel was vibrating and kicking back. Rosemeyer's hands were bleeding, his gloves were trashed and he threw them away but he was not giving up.
Rosemeyer, fought to the end, but had no answer for the 'Flying Mantuan', and Nuvolari took the chequered flag leading by 14.23s, for a great victory. Rosemeyer had to be lifted out of the car and Dr. Gläser, the German racing team doctor, had to attend to his hands.
Fittingly, the designer of Nuvolari's winning Alfa Romeo was Vittorio Jano, who was born in Italy 1891 as Viktor János, son of Hungarian immigrants."

1936 Hungarian GP #24 - Tazio Nuvolari Wins!
This skin works on either Legion's version, or Tasking Flyer's update, of Legion's version (tested), of the 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C. Flyer's 8C is significantly better visually and to drive, but uses made-up, inaccurate suspension and is...
