N° 224 Kevill-Davies / Pelling on Riley 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.

During the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, the Riley saloon driven by Kevill-Davies and Pelling navigates the breaking and starting test. On a wet, tiled surface marked by striped cones, the car, bearing rally number 224, must accelerate 200 metres from a standstill before braking in the shortest possible distance. Spectators observe from behind barriers near advertising for "BOUGIE AC" and "LUCAS," as large latticed structures frame the course.
