“FIAT.” HRHE greatest Motor Road Race in the World is the French Grand Prix, and it is the greatest ambition of the foremost motor car manufacturers to win it. As evidence of the creative genius of Italian motor car builders, and illustrating the wonderful advance made in recent years in motor car design, thia year’s event, held last July, is a striking testimony. Seventeen cars, representing the world’s beet, started on the gruelling test of 500 miles, and it was won by a 15.9 h.p. 6-cylinder “FIAT” at a speed of 79.3 miles per hour, only two other cars finishing. The car was driven at this terrific speed for 500 miles in 6 hours 17' minutes. The performance was repeated a month later in the Italian Grand Prix on a 373 mile circuit on a speedway at Milan, and the first, second, third and fourth places were taken by the same kind of 15.9 h.p. “FIAT’ car at an average speed of the 4 cars of 83 miles per hour. Some vears'ago it would have taken cars of 150 h.p. to put up such a performance, and this years results completely establish the value of the light car of first-class design, such as the ‘FIAT.’ We are landing shortly a Sports Model 4-cylihder 12-16 h.n. “FIAT.” which is the product of the FIAT’S racing erperience, and we will be pleased to show it to •anyone interested. It has a range of 5 to 65 miles per hour on top gear, marvellous acceleration and hill-climbing powers, and will do 45 miles per gallon of petrol and 2000 miles per gallon of oil, and brakes, steers and rides perfectly at all speeds, being absolutely easy find simple to control.
