History of Automobile World Records ======
With the WISE data bank in sight the computing of automobile records is of considerable interesto The CHI Bureau contacted the FISA/Record Com• mission and offered the files about the develop• ment of the autoflobile records from their begin• ning up to the present timeo The Record Commis• sion agreedo The CHI carry out their offer with this paper dealing with the history of the clas• sic world records.
The courses
The automobile records began at the end of 1898 with the abso• lute land speed record on the first measured kilo:netre in Achères near Paris, built a~d carried out by the ACF. This activity faced considerable interest in the public and de- l- veloped to an import&~t branch as test and bench for the advanced autoIJobile we know today. After some other places in FTance and Belgium, Brooklands bad been built by Hugh F. ~ocke-King (t 1926) and opened in 1907. This test bench for the British motor-manufacturers gave the idea of enlarging the numb e.rof records dur-Lngthese test r1.L.YJ.s'l'h.etrack made it possible to travel at high speed over any distance J ,oecauoe OI~lL;-, S tv/a 'naruc1 a.- ng s on ,::n- 5 rad-lUS.1),,c.esl. gned' Dy Co.1 R.CoL.

Edge, 'who was the first to use the detachable Rudge wheel30 The last records in Brooklan~s had been driven in 1939.
1) 465 and 304 metres - 2 - The second important autodrome was Linas-Montlhéry, built by Alexandre Lamblin. The first records were attempted in 1924 over 24 hour-s by Gros and Martin on a Bignan. The banked track (2548 metres) with a radius of 265 m allowed lap speeds of 250 km/ho Montlhéry developed as the most successful record track ever. The last record attempts occured here in 1973. The Avus in Berlin, opened 1921, was a fast course of 19 573 m per lap'otwo turns with with a radius of 143 m (north) and banked under 12 • Owing to these conditions only very few record at• tempts had been carried out. Lap speed 260 km/h. No further record attempts after 1935. The test bench for Italy is Monza track, built in 1922 by Arturo Mercanti (1875-1936), Sen. Silvio Crespi (1868-1944)0 . and Pietro Puricelli (1883-1951). The banked track under 21 (4500 m) had radii of 324 and 318 m and a lap speed of 220 km/ho In theonew shape of 1955 (4 250 m) the banked track was under 38 with the radii of 318 and 324 m to al~ow a lap speed of over 280 km/ho This track is still there. ) The circle of Nardo nr. Brindisi/I since 1976 measures . 12 640.26 m with a.radius of 2 km, max. lap speed is 410 km/ho Miramas nr. Marseille, opened 1924, became famous with extra long distance records. One lap is 5014.822 m with a radius of approxo 959 m. Indianap~, USA, built in 1909 with a length of 2.5 miles = 4023035 m, two corners, slightly banked, giving a lap speed of 230 km/ho Used for American stock-car and some long-dura- tion international records.Four straights of 0.62 miles and 183 yd After the beaches in Florida between 1905 and 1935 came the records on the flats near Salt Lake City/iendover, Utah, cal- led Bonneville after the militar~ engineer and explorer Capto Benjamin L.E. Bonneville (t 1878). One lap of the three cir- cuits in 1936-39 was 10 to 12 ¥2 miles with a radius of 1,6 to 2 miles, inaugurated by Salt lake City's Mayor David Abbot Jenkins in 1932. The straight for short distance records is 13 miles. International NASCAR Daytona Beach S~eedway, since 1959~ One lap is 3976.22 m with three bends, banked under 2 x 31 and 18., max. straight is 1200 metres. Adapted for duration re• cords, maxo lap speed is 290 km/ho
1) The 10 km road circuit has an Rmax = 320 m (curva grande), an R. = 100 m and a width of 10-12 metreso This combined nn,n circuit allowed a speed of 200 km/ho 3

• Bonneville Salt Fla~s 1936-: The ~gulations The RAC and the BARC introduced the first record regulations which had been drawn up by Major Fo Lindsay Lloyd (t 1940) as Brooklands Clerk of the Courseo The AIACR agreed and set up in . 1911 the running in two directions in the case of flying start, The timing apparatus had to keep 1/100 of a second for short· distances, 1/5 sec. for the longer ranges. These instruments must be approved nationally and by the AIACR internationally. 'The condition was to tape 1/100 o~ a second connected with a writing instru• ment to record the results and an automatic release which touched the front wheels whilst the vehicle passed the finishing line.
The first timekeeping apparatus recognized by the AIACRwas •
1910 apparatus by Col. H.C.L.,Holden, Brooklands 1925 apparatus by L. Leroy & Cie Paris (Brillié/Leroy) 1927 apparatus by the stewart Warner Instrument Compo USA (Charles H. Warner) for Indianapolis 1928 apparatus by F.Lo Loebner, Berlin W 9.
1928 Brillie/Leroy developed an apparatus with 'a beam of light which registered automatically 3 to 4 passages per second. 1/1000 of a second were also registered in high speed record attempts in the early stages.
The official timekeepers in the different countries had to be recognized by the AIACR like the apparatus.

We will now consider them in their de- _. -- velopment from the begi~ning. The guidelines for this study ~nclude as reference points : date, dri- vers, cars, location and the result of the attempto In the case that these points -are not sufficient, _ further details can be investigated in the specialist literature or in jour• nals of the timeo
Now we enter the field of several classic recordso
Records with flying start
Certainly the most well known records are th~se with flying start, called the "absolute land speed record". This topic is -- . - reported regularly to_the public and printeà in all papers of the worldo This record has attracted the highe~t degr~e of science, technical know how, cooperation with many branches of industry and scientists from 1898 to the present dayso '--- 1 . - '" The electric and steam engines began aridsince 1902 the re• ciprocating combustion engines on pistons controlled the record sceneo Then in 1962 when the Southern California Timing Association created the new category "Jet propelled vehicles uxllimited" the j et age began on lando The FIA ap• proved this category in 1'9640 But this technical progress required a revision of the re• cord prescriptions in Appendix D of the Code Sportifo The Comite approved these regulations in 1968, to be enforced as from Janua~J 1, 1970Q The land vehicles are divided now into automobiles on four wheels and special vehicles with other means of propulsion than by __ wheels (jets and hover- craft).

The records over 10 kilometres and 10 miles are included in the re• cord history between 1901-69 with flying start, and since 1970 with standing start. The 10 miles with flying start had been the hardest test for the tyres because they had to cover twenty miles at high speed. The cars used here came also from other fields than of the world's land speed class. The German Autobahn considerably raised the speed and so especially did the Bon- neville Salt Flats in Utah, USA. The reciprocating piston engine played the biggest part in the land speed record, namely from 1902-630 The turbine engine in wheel-driven automobiles (gr. 8) passed the 400 miles-mark, but made no advance in the last twenty years. So we observe the great concern of industry with the actual speed records,not only from a public point of view, but also as ~gards :progress. Clearer distinction between automobiles and special vehicles (Code Sportif International, Art. 13) in two basic categories : automobiles, running on at least four wheels not aligned, two of which at least assume the steering function and two at least the propulsion (Cat. A) special vehicles, propelled otherwise than through their wheels (Cat. C). The record distances had been divided since 1967 into: Distance records with flying start : 1 km, 1 mile Acceleration xecords with standing start: ¥4 mile, 3(2 km, 1 km Distance records with standing start (km and miles) : 10, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 25000, 50000 and 100000. Time records with standing start: 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Cars of Cato A, groups 2, 4 and 6 can only establish dura• tion records up to 1000 miles and 6 hours. 23

This group shows clearly that everyone of these requires otber kind of cars. In former times racing cars of different fornulae or types (Brooklands or Grand Prix) qualified ~ufficiently in the standing kiloDetre and the mileo A typical progress reaction was the hot rod moyem.ent in the USA with the result of a new understanding for the acceleIation test which led to new records with more specializ ed cars. the dragstero '--" '
The long distance sprint
This is the record of 100 km, 100 miles and "the Hour". At the time,these distances required firstly cars with big engines. Then, even here, very skilled streamlining and weight saving raised the speed considerably. In 1935 there were no permanent circuits available to face sp~eds over 250 km/ho The Utah salt flats with a. big circuit solved the new requirements an.dthe speeds went up ~_na straight line. When the Utah course opened internationally in 1935 the competition between ~enkins, Cobb and Eyston began up to 48 hours and end~950. Then a gap of 28 years followed with European efforts on an Italian circuit. The long distance s:_orint~especially "the Hour" remains a muel: noticed record which pr-oves skill and quality of the in• dustry. 26

Among them the most prominent are the 1124Hour-e ", With t hds .recor-dbegins the special prepara'taon and orggnisation for a long è.istance record. The a cruevemerrt by Selwyn Franci.s Edge (186.3-1940) in. the openi:lgyear of Brooklands was an al.lto!I.o• bilistic s ensa+t on connected with new t.e chru ca.Iknowledge. Edge took tr..erecorci_single-handed resting only fcœ refuelling and tyre cr~nging(24 tyres). After the opening of the famous Mo:r..tlhtrytrack Fr~nch and British cars raised the 24 hours mar-k from 3000-4400 kilometres. And here aga.Ln the Ut ah sa.Lt flats brought the possibility for UIÙimited speeds. John Rho• d.esCobb (1899-1952) and the outstanding record contender George Edward Thomas Eyston with their crews set the speed up with the classic NapiEr- and Rolls Royce-engines compe t Lng with the indefatigable American D.A ••Jenkins. Mainly Dunlop and Firestone profited from the participation with their tyres.

L Here, a light, well streamliYwrl Italian Abarth of 982 cc. er...ginceapacity was auccessf'uL ir..1960 aga inst 3.5-and even 5-1itre eed.ans, Two years after the last attempt in 1967 this record was dis:)ontinued.
The extra long distance records began with the Fiat 501, OM Superba and the Ansaldo 1924-26~ For these kind of records the AIACR draw up special regulations. in 1931. The exchange of major parts of the car was pro- hibited then. Spare parts had to be declared before the attempt and carried on board the car, eg. carter, ville• brequin, axle, gearbox or electric starter. 36

Th'2Y organis ed , prepared and carried 6ut 194 world endurance records with the cars Roaalie I (1931) to IX (1936). Only Rosalie III (1.5) reached 300000 km and claimed 106 worJd and 173 international class~ record alone. Here, not only the distance but also the number of records are the headlines for the public and for the fane of ths automobile nAver forgotten. These facts certainly inspired Henri Theodcre Pigozzi (1898-1964) 20 and 25 years later to a repetition also with a car out of his production line. After a record attempt in 1952 over 5000c km in 18 days, Michel Gauthis-r with his t.eam 1957 went over the 100000 km in 38 days and set 14 world and 28 iEtsrnational class records with the produc• tion "Elysee" (1.3). This effort made the Simca very popula:::. A new higTùight o~ the extra long distance recorde with automobiles fell 1963 when Ford o~ganised a record party in France and the USA witn three of t~eir production models. The
"Taunusll from Cologne collected 145 world records includj.ng 18 new ~stabli~hed records in 142 daye, wnils"t the Cortina (1.5) "- from Dagenham and the Comet' (4.7) from Dearborn lasted 40 days. This was the biggest endurance test until now. Ford conti- nued the endurance work in Monza 1966 and 1972/73.

History of the International Class Records ======
The Clerk of the Course and Racing Manager of the BrooklAnds Automobile Racing Club (BARC) Major Fo Lindsay Lloyd Ct 1940) introduced the first nine automobile classes for record brea- king, the "Brooklands cubic capacity classes" on engine size. They lasted from 1912 to 1925, when the CSl of the AIACR took them over for international purposes and were defined as follows • R A C A I A C R 1912 - 25 1925 - class ccm cUoino ccm class
A 1 639 100 1 500 - 2 000 E B 2 848 125 C 2 458 150 rI 2 000 3 000 D D 2 868 175 E 3 851 235 3 000 - 5 000 C F 4 998 305 000 - 8 000 B G 7 784 II 5 475 li 13 929 850 over 8 000 A J over 13929 over 850 The distances were half a mile, km, mile with flying start, 50 miles to 1000 miles with standing start, hours of duration and ten Brooklands laps on the Outer Circuit.
The actual international classes of competition cars and the record regulations had been introduced with the first Code Sportif International, Annexe C, D, and E in 1925, and re• cognized by the AIACR in 1927. In addition to the classes mentioned before, the Code Sportif put these engine capacities and kind of engines in the regulations : class c c m introduced F 1100 1500 ) G 750 - 1100 1925 H 500 - 750 I 350 - 500 1927 J up to 350 ~ J" 250 - 350 ) K up to 250 1957 Diesel unlimited 1935 " classes like Otto cycle 1964 Turbine 500,1000,over 1000 kg 1952 engines Jet prop. (rocket unlimited 1964 engines) Hovercraft unlimited 1965 Electric 500,1000,over 1000 kg 1965/71 engines Stirling unlimited 1983 engines The distances were the same as in the world records. The lon- gest record on time in the international classes should be 24 hours. But attempts on longer distances began in 1925 with Ansaldo, Rolland-Pilain and Fiat 501, the OM Superba and Invc• victa in 1926 to pr~e the reliability of the automobile. The first record attempt under the new international regula• tions took place in Linas-Montlhéry on February 22, 1925. 1927 the USA entered the AIACR and drove international class records under the AIACR rules. It was not allowed to attack records in a higher class with a smaller engine.
In October 1968 the Comité approved a revision ?f Annexe D (Records) in the Code Sportif International, Art. 13, submitted by a Sous-Commission ad hoc, and which was enforced on January 1, 1970. *)
The CHr can,if required,give the history of all distances in the In- ternational classes. But it has selected here the flying start (~, mile to 10 miles) and the standing start (km? mile, the Hour and 2.4hours). ) Bulletin sportif~1969, No. 19 Janvier, p. 10-12 International CIa s B Records ~ Cat.
