1929 Grand Prix season


The 1929 Grand Prix season was dominated by Italian constructors. Both Alfa Romeo and Bugatti won races, with "W Williams" and Louis Chiron being the dominant drivers.
The World Manufacturers' Championship was planned on seven races. Three of them were converted to sport-cars races while British and European Grands Prix were not held. Since the last one was required, the championship was cancelled.
