The Grand Prix racing series in the 750-kilogram formula was overshadowed in the mid-1930s by the duel between the two German brands Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz. In 1936, the Saxons entered the series with the brand new Auto Union Type C as an answer to Mercedes-Benz who’s W 25 had won the European Grand Prix Championship the year before.
Almost everything on Type C was different from previous Formula cars. Particularly striking was the unconventional arrangement of the V16 cylinder engine designed by Ferdinand Porsche behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. The first mid-engined car in racing history shone from the very first race. In addition to the fabulous construction, another fortunate circumstance was that the 520 hp strong car was driven by a highly talented racing driver, including 27-year-old Bernd Rosemeyer. He mastered the difficult to drive type C and its enormous torque virtuosic and celebrated in the 1936 season a winning streak, which secured him the title of European Champion in the end.
One of the highlights in that season was Rosemeyer’s win in the German GP with starting number 4 as replicated in this CMC model.
