Bucharest


A 2.299 mile track was used in Central Bucharest between 1937 and 1939. Limited fields meant that in 1937 Hans Rüsch (a competent jouneyman) beat local driver Jean Calcianu by quarter of an hour in the opening race.

Lap Record: Hans Rüsch (Alfa Romeo Tipo-C "8C-35"), 2m06, 65.686mph, Formula Libre.
