Dyna Panhard, slightly damaged, 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.
A slightly damaged Dyna Panhard speeds across a wet track during the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. A rear mudguard flaps loose as the vehicle undergoes the braking and starting test, which required cars to accelerate 200 meters from a standstill before stopping in the shortest possible distance. Motion blur on the wheels emphasizes the car's velocity as officials and a crowd of spectators look on from behind advertising-lined barriers.
