Occasional paper 22: 19th September 1925 Circuit Routes Des Pavees & Th. Schneider

On the 19th September 1925 two 2 litre Th. Schneider entered by the company participated in the “Circuit Routes des Pavees”. The field was competitive and first car across the line was a Georges Irat piloted by Rost.

In the 2 litre class the two cars entered by Automobiles Th. Schneider placed 4th and 5th respectively. Not especially competitive perhaps but placing in front of the likes of  Bugatti and Ravel. The fourth placed car was piloted by Desvaux and the fifth by Automobiles Th. Schneider company director Robert Poirier.

I recently discovered a wonderful image of the two Th. Schneider at what looks like the point of departure at this event at http://www.gallica.bnf.fr. See below:
