N° 186 Levegh and Marmonie on Talbot Lago Record, 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.

Levegh and Marmonie in their Talbot Lago Record, bearing rally number 186, await the start of a technical challenge during the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. On the wet, reflective surface under an overhead gantry, the crew prepares for the braking and starting test: a 200-metre acceleration from a standing start, followed by stopping in the shortest possible distance. In the background, spectators gather with umbrellas behind advertising banners.
