N° 423 Einsiedel / Kesselstatt on Porsche 356, 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.

Einsiedel and Kesselstatt in their Porsche 356, race number 423, undertake the braking and starting test at the 1953 Rallye Monte Carlo. The road-dirtied coupe, fitted with extra spotlights and a Swedish license plate, navigates a course marked by striped bollards as officials and spectators watch from behind hay bales. This test required drivers to accelerate for 200 metres from a standing start and then brake in the shortest possible distance. In the background, banners for FERODO and LUCAS hang above the tree-lined road.
