Graham should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Woo. No.60 already.

Q60. What circuit was the cancelled race of 1939 due to run on?

Q61. At what race of 1938 did post-war motoring magazine publisher, Paul Pietsch, create a sensation, and why?

I'm very intrigued about the answer of Q61, but have no idea myself. So I wait a bit ...

Q60: Bucaresti, Romania, but the war was faster ....

Q61: Also don't know, but believe it has nothing to do with racing, or? Paul Pietsch was an excellent driver, but he never had the cars to be a winner. Although I remember, in 1938 he tried an Auto-Union ...

Eee... err ... umm ... was there two cancelled races of 1939? I'm talking about the one cancelled because of the imminent start of war.

Supposedly Paul Pietsch did something in a race in 1938 which surprised the established racing community.

Q60: Bucaresti was in my memory, I now checked in detail, there are even more races cancelled.
GP Italy, British GP Donington, and Zürich GP at Switzerland. Last GP was at Beograd, Yugoslavia, on September 3, and 2 days before WWII started.

There was no race after Beograd due to WWII. I only know that these 4 races had been scheduled but never held, but I do not know the originally scheduled dates.

So what was the next (evidently cancelled) race after Yugo? That would possibly be the answer to my question...
