The only Yugoslavian Grand Prix was held on a cobbled street circuit in Belgrade on the day that Great Britain declared war on Germany in 1939. The circuit in Belgrade's Kalemegdan Park was uninspiring and only five cars started – two Mercedes W163s and two D-type Auto Unions plus a locally-entered Bugatti T51. It proved to be Tazio Nuvolari’s final GP victory, but needless-to-say, news from elsewhere overshadowed proceedings.
