After the austerity of 1936, Italy was in a state of Fascist induced euphoria with it’s victory in Ethiopia. The French perhaps wishing to improve relations with the temporarily ascendant Mussolini regime turned a blind eye if not actually encouraging the French firms Delahaye and Talbot to enter the race with works cars. Delahaye proved two cars for Dreyfus/Ghersi and Schell/Carriere while Talbot provide cars for Cattaneo/Lavegue and Comotti/Rosa.
