Rallye Monte Carlo 1951.

Laroche and Radix in their Citroën Traction Avant 15 six (N° 160) undertake the braking and starting test at the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. On a wet, tiled surface, the car kicks up a slight spray as it navigates between striped bollards. This challenge required drivers to accelerate for 200 metres from a standing start before pulling up in the shortest possible distance. Dressed for the weather in coats and hats, a crowd of spectators watches from behind a barrier bearing an "ACF" sponsorship banner.
