N° 428 Krull / Vidal on Ford Taunus 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 1953.

Krull and Vidal pilot their Ford Taunus, number 428, through the braking and starting test of the 1953 Rallye Monte Carlo. The sedan navigates a course marked by striped cones, tasked with accelerating from a standing start before stopping in the shortest possible distance. A large crowd of spectators watches from behind a barrier, while an official stands near a large lattice archway that spans the course. A banner for the sponsor Ferodo is visible in the background.
