Dyna Panhard, slightly damaged, 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. Rallye Monte Carlo 1951.
A slightly damaged Dyna Panhard is captured in motion on a wet track during the braking and starting test of the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. A piece of bodywork flaps near the rear wheel as the car accelerates, its front end blurred. In the background, spectators and officials watch from behind barriers lined with advertisements for Lucas and Bougie AC. The test required drivers to accelerate from a standing start and then brake in the shortest possible distance, a demanding display of control and power.
