SMALL ENTRY
THIS YEAR’S GRAND PRIX Entries for the French Grand Prix 91A-inch automobile race, to be run at Montlhery on July 3, have definitely closed with 10 cars enrolled. They comprise teams of three each from Bugatti, Delage and Talbot and one Halford car from England. Although the number of entries Is small and no more can be received, the French club has decided to hold the race, for which it is offering 150,000 francs in cash prizes. Last year French 1,500 c.c. racing cars were not ready and as a consequence the races were devoid of competition. A considerable amount of work has been done since, with the result that the struggle ought to be keen between the three makers. Bugatti and Talbot will race with straight-eight supercharged engines; Delage will use a supercharged 12-cylinder engine.
