You have send me a poster from 1930 by Scuderia Ferrari, where is a list of races, which I think, should be events, where they started. And Brno is there. So I belive yes they were entered by Ferrari. Anyway, Ferrucio Testi was a leader of the team in Brno in 1930 and again in next years.

The best evidence will be a race program with an entry list or at least any mention in newspapers. I have some doubts. In RACI weekly bulletin #40/1930 I've found that: L'Italia era presentata da due Alfa Romeo pilotate da Tazio Nuvolari, ormai quasi del tutto ristabilito della caduto fatta a Monza, e Baconin Borzacchini. Alla corsa hanno presenziato S.E. Pedrazzi, Ministro d'Italia, l'op. Gianferrari e il comm. Fano.
Translation: Italy was presented by two Alfa Romeo driven by Tazio Nuvolari, now almost wholly recovered of the fallen made at Monza, and Baconin Borzacchini. The race was attended by S. E. Pedrazzi, Minister of Italy, op. Gianferrari, and the comm. Fano.
S.E. Pedrazzi? I think means Orazio Pedrazzi, italian ambassador at Prague;
Gianferrari. As I understand there was Prospero Gianferrari, Il Direttore Generale dell'Alfa Romeo 1928-1933. What he was doing there, if the entry was made by Scuderia Ferrari?
As regarding Ferrucio Testi he was a minor shareholder of the Scuderia Ferrari. Maybe presence of Augusto Caniato, brother of Alberto Caniato, major shareholder of Scuderia Ferrari can prove an entry of Nuvolari and Baconin by SF.
AleSi:
There are no team mention in race program, just cars and drivers.
Pedrazzi was at the race, as also members of autoclubs from Poland, Germany, Austria and so on. But no mention of Gianferrari in czech newspapers. Just Ferrucio Testi as a leader of the team and Augusto Caniato as a third driver (but never started).
But two years later, after 1932 race, Scuderia Ferrari send a letter to Lidove Noviny, where they explain another loss at Brno and there was also said, that after they send cars to Brno in 1930, 1931 and 1932, they will be back next year and fight for the win again.
Влад Шайхнуров:
Alles klar
Danke, Ales
AleSi:
I have a questions. How common was to drive a racing car from factory to the race in 30s? After Masaryk GP in 1931 there is a news in local newspapers, that on monday during journey back to italy, mechanics were driving three alfa romeo racing cars back to Italy and close to boarder with Austria one alfa had an accident with local farmer. I tried to find any info about team´s trucks, but no mention anywhere.
I know it was common to drive your racing car if the circuit was close, or Michele Dore or madame Itier came to Brno with bugattis hitched behind their passanger car. But driving racing alfas long way down to Italy from Brno. Is it believable?
cheers
Ales

Hi, Ales!
I don't think so. Racing cars without headlamps, licence plates... It looks like silly trick or even a suicide. Do not forget special methanol fuel
Nuvolari's Alfa Romeo at Brno:
As you know Scuderia Ferrari entered three cars for Nuvolari, Borzacchini and Siena. They had two or even three transporters in 1931 - Ceirano Tipo 45 and Lancia Eptajota 254, "tuned" by 'Orlandi'. So, two lorries were able to carry three racing cars.
For spare wheels, parts and pit equipment Ferrari had a couple of lorries Fiat 626 N
Concerning the accident you have mentioned, I suppose it was about a disaster which caused by Augusto Caniato , when he had killed a poor horse, which had died under the wheels of an "usual" Alfa Romeo 6C1750 on his way to Brno or back way (?)
