In 1935, the engine had been enlarged to 5 l displacement, producing 370 bhp. Achille Varzi joined the team and won the Tunis Grand Prix and the Coppa Acerbo. Stuck won the Italian Grand Prix, plus his usual collection of hill climb wins, again taking the European Mountain Championship. The new sensation Rosemeyer, won the Czech Grand Prix. For 1936 the engine had grown to a full 6 liter and was now producing 50 bhp in the hands of Rosemeyer and his team-mates. The Auto Union Type C dominated the racing world.
