N° 360 Baron Chiaramonte-Bordonaro / Cavaliere S. Biondo on Lancia Aprilia, undergoing the breaking and starting test. Cars will have to accelerate as fast as possible for 200 metres from a standing start, and then pull up in the shortest possible distance, for the cars have to keep a line between the axles.

Baron Chiaramonte-Bordonaro and Cavaliere S. Biondo guide their Lancia Aprilia, number 360, through the braking and starting test of the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally. The dark sedan passes between striped cones and under a large gantry, watched by spectators lining the course. Banners for the Automobile Club and "RESTAURANT L'ESCALE" are visible in the background, with the Rock of Monaco looming under an overcast sky.
