In the first a driver named Kriska was killed at the wheel of a Walter, and in the second Turek and Mme. Slarik were

gravely injured when their car overturned.

The route was split up into four stages, but drivers only had their books stamped at Bratislava and Prague and immediately set off again. The road was guarded while the race was on, but not closed, except on the Prague-Kolin autostrada, so kilometres in length. The start was an impressive sight, the 54 cars being placed in single file and starting simultaneously.
