Piloting their Citroën Traction Avant 15 six (N° 160), Laroche and Radix undergo the braking and starting test at the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. On the slick, rain-soaked course, the dark sedan maneuvers between striped cones, challenged to accelerate from a standing start and then pull up in the shortest possible distance. A race marshal and spectators, dressed for the inclement weather, observe the car’s progress from behind barriers adorned with advertisements for brands like Lucas and AC.
