On the wet pavement of the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, the team of Schwartz and Schwartz puts their Salmson S4E Cabriolet through the breaking and starting test. Bearing race number 204, the dark convertible, its soft top up against the rain, must accelerate over 200 metres from a standstill before braking sharply. The manoeuvre is observed by a crowd of umbrella-holding spectators standing behind advertising banners for "RESTAURANT L'ESCALE" and "BOUGIE".
