A Veritas wins its first race in front of 300,000 fascinated spectators in the first race after the Second World War. All in all, the successful racing car wins 13 German Championships and takes 29 first places within just a few years.
From 1951, the "Veritas-Nürburgring" is made in the pits of the Nürburgring racetrack.
In the same year, the unparalleled development of the racing team is crowned by the participation of a Veritas Meteor in the Swiss Formula 1 Grand Prix: Which makes the Veritas the first German Formula 1 racing car ever.
Even today, the fascination exercised by this legendary racing car is as powerful as ever.
