1934 saw the return of Italy’s prodigal son, Achille Varzi. Resulting from their on again off again relationship between Nuvolari and Ferrari it was Varzi driving a Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeo while his nemesis also in an Alfa, this time for the Scuderia Siena. This change of supporting casts would later affect the final results. Both drivers had the 8C 2300 Alfas at their disposal with Varzi’s engine bored out to almost 2600 CC. To compensate Nuvolari’s Jano prepared mount used the latest Memini carburetor with the result that both cars produced similar power.
