Thirty-three competitors, under a heavy rain, launched themselves into the crazy and unprecedented challenge of making their machine run for 24 hours in a row on the Le Mans circuit. The manufacturers La Lorraine (cars n°6 and n°7), Bentley (car n°8), and Chenard and Walker (cars n°9 and n°10) take the start in front of hundreds of curious people who came to discover this new endurance event. The Chenard and Walker team will be the very first on the finish line at the end of the timer and will even sign a double (the n°9 of Lagache-Léonard, 1st place and the n°10 of Bachmann-Dauvergne, 2nd place).
