Sunday 4th February 1934

Captain George Eyston drove a modified Panhard 35CV 214.64 km (133.37 miles) in 60 minutes at the Montlhery race track. This record made waves at the time, but was obviously soon exceeded. Merely twenty years leader, a Panhard two-cylinder vehicle nearly achieved the same performance, reaching 202 km (125.52 miles) in one hour, with an engine that was only one-tenth of the size.
