“ One novel feature of the race is that all repairs to the competing cars must be made by the driver and his mechanic. No other persons will be allowed to approach the car during the contest for the purpose of lending mechanical assistance. The driver and their assistants are now taking lessons in the fitting of new tires in the shortest possible time. The race each day will be 375 miles.
It is also probable that American cars will be represented in the 3,000-mile touring event that is to be held under the auspices of the leading automobile club in Europe from July 29 to Aug. ”

“ Starting from Paris, the tour will make a grand circuit of the Continent, taking in Milan, Vienna, Berlin, Cologne, and back to Paris. Special classes have been provided so that cars of different size and horse power will receive equal consideration in the awards for general endurance. ”
