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.

Einsiedel and Kesselstatt in their number 423 Porsche 356 prepare for the braking and starting test at the 1953 Rallye Monte Carlo. The dark-colored coupe, fitted with extra rally lights and showing signs of road grime, is positioned at the start line. This test required competitors to accelerate for 200 metres from a standing start and then brake in the shortest possible distance. Officials and a large crowd of spectators watch from behind straw bales lined with sponsor banners for Ferodo and Lucas.
