Motorsport

De Dion's car at its destination

The first race in motor sport will take place on July 22nd as a reliability drive over 126 km from Paris to Rouen and back. 15 of the 121 registered vehicles reach their destination. The actual winner, Albert de Dion , was denied victory because his steam car is supposedly not “inexpensive” and “easy to use” (which does not apply to any of the participating vehicles). Therefore, de Dion is classified second.
