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.

Boeswillwald and Renaud navigate their Peugeot 203, bearing race number 129, on a wet course during the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally. They are undertaking the braking and starting test, which required competitors to accelerate from a standing start for 200 metres and then pull up in the shortest possible distance. Equipped with four auxiliary lights, the car is watched by a crowd of spectators in overcoats and hats, who stand behind a sponsor-adorned barrier as officials observe nearby.
