Motor racing at the 1900 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Motor Racing was an unofficial sport at the 1900 Olympics. Fourteen events were contested in conjunction with 1900 World's Fair.

Entries were by manufacturers rather than drivers and competitors' names were not adequately reported at the time. The exceptions are the two classes of the Paris-Toulouse-Paris race, one class of which was won by Louis Renault. Most events had only French competitors but there were some international entries.
