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 1951.

On a rain-slicked track during the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, Govers and van Hoevelken compete in the breaking and starting test. Their Kaiser sedan, bearing rally number 158, had to accelerate for 200 metres from a standing start before braking in the shortest possible distance. Spectators watch from behind a barrier, many holding umbrellas against the wet weather, their forms reflected on the paved surface alongside the latticework towers framing the scene.
