1935 Grand Prix season
The 1935 Grand Prix season was the third AIACR European Championship season. There were 35 non-championship races and seven races that counted for the European Championship. The championship was won by Rudolf Caracciola, driving for the Mercedes-Benz team.
Note that the Nazi German flag, bearing the swastika, was adopted on 15 September 1935 - one week before the final championship race of the season.
