Compared to the relatively small 1932 Nice Circuit Race the 1933 race was a serious Grand Prix with almost all the best known drivers of the time in competition. The street course followed the best known roads in the famous holiday resort, up and down the Promenade des Anglaise (with a 1.4 km straight allowing speeds up to 200 km/h to be reached), the Avenue Verdun, around the Place Masséna, Avenue des Phocéens and Quai des Etats Unis. In common with several other Grand Prix in 1933 the grid starting positions were decided according to practice times. Tazio Nuvolari had his third consecutive Grand Prix win.http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp3311.htm#50 1933 Nice Grand Prix 2012-05-26 kolumbus/leif.snellman 2021-01-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20210119105419/http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp3311.htm#50 dead Classification thumbnail|Start of the race Pos https://web.archive.org/web/20080808112112/http://www.teamdan.com/archive/gen/1933.html#nice 2008-08-08 1933 Nice Grand PrixNoDriverCarLapsTime/RetiredGrid 1 2 Italy 1861 Tazio Nuvolari Maserati 8CM 95 2:56:17.6 (103.92 km/h) 1 2 14 FRA René Dreyfus Bugatti T51 95 2:57:47.1 9 3 8 FRA Guy Moll Alfa Romeo Monza 94 +1 lap 8 4 16 Italy 1861 Luigi Fagioli Alfa Romeo Monza 93 +2 laps 6 5 10 FRA Marcel Lehoux Bugatti T51 92 +3 laps 5 6 30 UK Brian Lewis Alfa Romeo Monza 92 +3 laps12 7 32 FRA Pierre Félix Alfa Romeo Monza 91 +4 laps14 8 20 Italy 1861 Giuseppe Campari Maserati 4CM 2000 91 +4 laps10 Ret 6 FRA Jean-Pierre Wimille Alfa Romeo Monza 80 Brake rod 3 Ret 24 FRA Philippe Étancelin Alfa Romeo Monza 55 Brake rod 2 Ret 18 Italy 1861 Giovanni Minozzi Maserati 8C 43 11 Ret 28 Italy 1861 Goffredo Zehender Maserati 8CM 40 Overheating 15 Ret 12 UK Earl Howe Bugatti T51 15 Carburetor control 16 Ret 22 Italy 1861 Achille Varzi Bugatti T51 15 Brakes 7 Ret 4 FRA Raymond Sommer Alfa Romeo Monza 15 Rocker arm 4 Ret 26 AUT Charles Jellen Alfa Romeo Monza 5 Fuel pipe 13 DNA Hungary 1920 László Hartmann Bugatti T35B DNA Italy 1861 Clemente Biondetti MB Speciale Notes Exact number of laps completed by retired drivers is not known for certain, values shown above are taken from available sources References Nice Grand Prix 1933 1933 Swedish Summer Grand Prix 1933 Coppa Acerbo 1932 Nice Circuit Race 1934 Nice Grand Prix Nice Grand Prix Category:Sport in Nice Category:20th century in Nice Nice Grand Prix
