BMW si Maserati la Feleac / BMW and Maserati at the Feleac hill-climb

Trei poze extrem de valoroase din colectia Julia Tarbay, via fortepan.hu. Autorul spune ca au fost surprinse la o cursa auto in 1935. Intr-adevar, poza 2 arata celebrul pilot Ladislau Hartmann, si al sau Maserati in 8 cilindri, vopsit in culorile Ungariei. Aceeasi masina se vede in pozele 4, 5, 6, si 7. Data e 6 octombrie 1935, si locul este Feleac. Poza nr 7 a fost surprinsa cu exacta aceasta ocazie.

Aici se complica treaba. Poza 3 arata un BMW 319/1, model fabricat in 1935 si 1936. Dar documentele de epoca (poza 8) spun ca la categoria sport, au concurat numai masini Ford - desi in 1936 concureaza doua BMW-uri. Tot in 1936 concureaza Hartmann pe Maserati, desi fara succes. Deci sa fie pozele din 1936? Sau de la evenimente diferite?

Probabil ca nu vom sti vreodata adevarul...

Three highly valuable photos from the Julia Tarbay collection, via fortepan.hu. The author says they were taken at a race in 1936. Indeed, the second photo shows the famous racing driver Ladislau Hartmann and his 8-cylinder Maserati. The same car is shown in photos 4, 5, 6 and 7. The date is 6 October 1935, and the race is the Feleac hillclimb. Photo 7 is from the same occasion.

But here matters get complicated. Photo3 shows a BMW 319/1, produced in 1935 and 1936. But a period document (photo 8) states that the only sports cars competing in 1935 were Fords. However, in 1936, we have two BMWs competing, as well as (unsuccessfully) Hartmann on his Maserati. So are the pictures from 1936? Or are they from different events?

I guess we will never know....
