The original Grand Prix was held on the undulating open roads from Le Mans to St Calais and then La Ferté-Bernard. The startline was at Gennes, 12 miles east of the centre of Le Mans. A wooden road was built to bypass the narrow streets at St Calais and Vibraye. The two-day event that changed motor racing was won by Ferenc Szisz's Renault – the Hungarian ensuring his place in the sport’s history books forever.
