Grand Prix Of Portugal (July 25th)

The Grand Prix of Portugal was a 60-lap race for sport, cars over 1 1/2-litres, run in tropical heat on a 5.44-kilometre circuit at Lisbon, and the two official Ferraris driven by Gonzalez and Hawthorn had very little opposition. These two drivers were using the new 3-litre four-cylinder model that first appeared at Monza, though modified since then by the addition of more powerful brakes. Among the English competitors were Duncan-Hamilton with his C-type Jaguar and Whitehead with his Jaguar-Cooper, but neither could challenge the leaders.
