The top drivers distinguished themselves right from the first practice, showing particular concentration, technical skill and great spirit, in what was a hard-fought race alongside the best Italian and foreign regulars and characterised by extreme situations due to the adverse weather conditions encountered during the second stage on Tuscan soil. This was their first success at the Gran Premio Nuvolari, in the year in which the important anniversary of the 130th anniversary of the birth of the flying Mantuan is celebrated. 
"It was a very demanding race, but already from the first day we felt at ease and confident in our abilities, which were then confirmed by the final result. On the second day the weather difficulties did not get us down, we started off concentrated and managed to maintain the lead we had gained until the last few laps," said Alberto Aliverti. Winning the Gran Premio Nuvolari represents for us the crowning achievement of many efforts and sacrifices and of work that has lasted for years; victory in fact does not come by chance but is always the result of constant commitment," adds Stefano Valente. My passion was born when I was 14 years old and has to do with an old Porsche of my father's that sat unused in a garage and was then officially given to me on the day of my graduation. Since that day (the passion) has never left me'. 
Second place was taken by crew no. 99 of Vesco-Vesco, at the wheel of a 1939 BMW 328 with which they had previously triumphed in the 2017 edition, in what was one of the most gripping head-to-head races of the race. 
Third place went to crew no. 94 at the wheel of a 1938 Fiat 508 C made up of the Barcella-Ghidotti duo, drivers of great experience. In fourth place was the Riboldi-Riboldi duo (no. 58), in a 1933 Fiat 508 S, and fifth were Fontanella-Covelli, crew no. 4 driving a 1927 Lancia Lambda Spyder, both crews the authors of an important comeback in the finale.
