At the 1953 Rallye Monte Carlo, the Porsche 356 (N° 366) driven by Loeffler and Henckell undergoes the braking and starting test. Covered in road grime, the car navigates a course defined by striped bollards, passing under a large lattice-work archway. This trial challenged drivers to accelerate 200 metres from a standstill before braking in the shortest possible distance. Officials and spectators observe from the sidelines, where striped tents and advertising banners, including one for "MARCHAL," are visible against a wooded hillside.
