A very rare programme for the ill-fated 1938 Albi grand Prix. Only 9 cars showed up for the race, one of which was Mays' works ERA. Once again the race was run in two parts with times added at the end. There was a nasty accident in the first heat when Bianco (Maserati 4CM) hit a telegraph pole putting himself into hospital. Mays, who initially led, was soon out with compressor problems leaving Villoresi, Teagno, Soffietti and Berg to take the four first places for Maserati. Villoresi led the second heat but Hug (Maserati 4CM), who had retired in the first heat, passed him at lap 7 and went on to win. Villoresi finished second and Soffietti third with Luigi Platé in a 12 year old Talbot GP car finishing 4th and 3rd overall. The overall winner was Villoresi. Signed in blue ink to the cover by Luigi Villoresi, Maurice Trintignant and Robert Manzon. String bound and offered in very good condition, with only minor reading wear.
