Ardennes Circuit Panhard Winner 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for the 70 HP Panhard, as it crosses the finish line to win the Circuit des Ardennes Race in 1902. The Circuit des Ardennes, held in the picturesque Ardennes region of Belgium, was one of the earliest and most prestigious automobile races in the world. The Panhard team, led by Jules-Albert de Dion and Rene Panhard, had been pushing the boundaries of automotive technology since the late 1890s, and their 70 HP model was a testament to their engineering prowess. The sleek, low-slung vehicle, with its distinctive long chassis and large, spoked wheels, was a sight to behold on the winding, hilly circuit. Powered by a large, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine, the 70 HP Panhard was capable of reaching impressive speeds for the time, making it a formidable contender in the race. The driver, clad in goggles and a leather helmet, focuses intently on the road ahead, his hands gripping the wheel with determination. The sense of speed and excitement is palpable in this image, as the Panhard roars past the cheering crowds, leaving them in its dust. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the early days of automobile racing, a time when technology and innovation were driving the industry forward at breakneck speed. The 70 HP Panhard and its triumphant victory at the Circuit des Ardennes Race in 1902 remain an enduring symbol of the passion and determination that has fueled the automotive industry for over a century.
