During the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally, the Jowett driven by Waltmann and Galjaard undergoes the braking and starting test. Bearing race number 189, the vintage sedan maneuvers on wet, reflective pavement between striped cones. This test required a 200-metre acceleration from a standing start, followed by braking in the shortest possible distance. Bundled against the weather, spectators watch from behind barriers adorned with sponsor banners, including a prominent sign for 'LUCAS'.
