On Sunday, May 21, 1922, Catalan motorsport enthusiasts had an unmissable date on their calendar because on that day the second edition of the Armangué Trophy for cars was held. The competition was named in honor of Josep Maria Armangué Feliu, a pioneer of speed who died prematurely in a plane crash (we dedicated a profile of this series to him on September 25, 2022) and served to bring together both local and foreign drivers. The main attraction of the race were the promising Austro-Daimlers, especially the one driven by Alfred Neubauer, who had played a very dignified role in the Targa Florio held a few weeks earlier. At the end of the first lap of the Tarragona circuit, when Neubauer had set the best time, a tragic accident with several fatalities forced the race to be stopped and the Czech was left without a victory. He would never be a great star on the track, but he was a fundamental race director for Daimler for many years. The person who had given him the opportunity to enter the world of speed and who financed the Austro-Daimler racing team was Camillo Castiglioni, a banker considered the richest man in Central Europe at the time of World War I.
