Monday 3rd July 1905

The first 24 hour motor race run in Columbus, Ohio, US on a one mile oval circuit horse racing track, ended. Remarkably the three cars that started all survived the race, which was won by Charles and George Soules driving their pope-Toledo, with a Frayer-Miller second and a Peerless third. The winning car covered 828 ½ miles in the 24 hours, to average 34.5 mph.
