Paris–Rouen (motor race)
Paris–Rouen, ''Le Petit Journal'' Competition for Horseless Carriages (''Concours du 'Petit Journal' Les Voitures sans Chevaux''), was a pioneering city-to-city motoring competition in 1894. Some anglophone sources call it a race, a rally or a trial, and it is sometimes described as the world's first competitive motor race although the initial announcement stated that "it will not be a race".〔(Gallica, Online Archive, ''Le Petit Journal'' 19 December 1893 – Announcement )〕〔A previous motoring event had been held in 1887 but received only a single entrant. Georges Bouton and his riding mechanic, Jules-Albert, Count de Dion, completed the drive from the Bois de Boulogne to Porte Maillot in a steam-powered vehicle of their own manufacture, the genesis of the De Dion-Bouton.〕
The competition was organised by the newspaper ''Le Petit Journal'' and run from Paris to Rouen in France on 22 July 1894. It was preceded by four days of vehicle exhibition and qualifying events that created great crowds and excitement. The eight qualifying events started near the Bois de Boulogne and comprised interwoven routes around Paris to select the entrants for the main event.〔( Le petit journal, publication of 20 December, column 1, Article 8 )〕
The first driver across the finishing line at Rouen was "''le Comte'' de Dion" but he did not win the main prize because his steam vehicle needed a 'stoker' and was thus ineligible. The fastest petrol powered car was a Peugeot driven by Albert Lemaître. The premier prize, the 5,000 franc ''Prix du Petit Journal'', for 'the competitor whose car comes closest to the ideal' was shared equally by manufacturers Panhard et Levassor and Les fils de Peugeot frères ("The sons of Peugeot brothers"), with vehicles that were 'easy to use'.〔(Forix, Autosport, 8W – Welcome to Who? What? Where? When? Why? on the World Wide Web. ''The cradle of motorsport'' by Rémi Paolozzi, May 28, 2003 )〕〔(Cent Ans, Concours du ''Petit Journal'' Les voitures sans chevaux. )〕〔〔
