N° 360 Baron Chiaramonte-Bordonaro / Cavaliere S. Biondo on Lancia Aprilia, 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 1951

Baron Chiaramonte-Bordonaro and Cavaliere S. Biondo pilot their Lancia Aprilia, race number 360, through a braking and starting test at the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. The challenge required drivers to accelerate for 200 metres from a standing start before braking in the shortest possible distance. Navigating a course of striped cones, the sedan approaches a gantry lined with sponsor banners. In the distance, under an overcast sky, the Prince's Palace of Monaco is visible on the skyline.
