No Larry I would not have let Nuvolari start that is true, but then again I would not have let Robert Dunlop start either.
But when I am standing in the pub on the corner at Ramsey watching the riders approaching Parliament Square and one rider appears lap after lap riding with only one hand it is pretty hard to erase the thought of one of the best motorcyclists of his time not being allowed to start in the very British TT.
The whole Italian team in the year in question is reported to have been depressed by both the food,the weather and the frosty, officious Anglo Saxon reception they received.
Some even wanted to return home.
Where is Marco when I need him?

And as to the Audi TT being named after an NSU motorcycle rider, well I suppose only the Audi marketing executives know the answer to that one.
