Some cars have history, but others have way more. That's the case with the Dreyfus Maserati 8CTF. Built in 1938 to bring the fight to Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union, driver René Dreyfus went from racing to the European theatre, eventually returning to motorsport to run the 1940 Indianapolis 500. The history of this car and its driver tell a tale for the ages.
