IX GRAND PRIX OF ROUEN

Rouer4, June 4th

The wonderful road circuit at Les Essarts, just south of Rouen, was once more used for a mixed Continental Club-type meeting comprising a combined sports and G.T. race and 3 Formula Junior event. The main event, divided into categories, saw Lloyd Crustier with Tipo 61 Maserati, with which he and Gregory won the Nurburgring s,000 kilometres race, have an easy win from a gaggle of G.T. Ferraris. The race was run in two hears of two hours cach, the total distance covered in the four hours deciding the winner. Between the heats a 23-lap Formula Junior race was held which proved to be a triumph for the Ken Tyre!! Racing Team Cooper-13./s4.C,. cars. In this event the first rear-engine, rear-drive 0.13. l’anhard works car made an appearance.
