Yes, sorry, perhaps I should have been more specific - I was referring to the late 1930s.

The Germans were dominating GP racing by, with the Italians occasionally having a go at them, and winning in voiturette racing, whilst some of the French companies turned to Sportscar racing, hence three straight wins at Le Mans '37-'39.

However, I take your point about Alfas, who were always quick in the Mille Miglia and, taking the 1930s as a whole, were probably the most successful sportscar marque.
