HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTOMOBILE
1902 NAPIER 35 H.P. GORDON BENNETT RACING CAR
The 1902 Gordon Bennett Cup, formally titled the III Coupe Internationale, was a motor race held on 2628 June 1902, on public roads between Paris, France, and Innsbruck, Austria. The race was held over a 565 km section of the route of the Paris-Vienna race, held concurrently. France were to attempt to defend the Gordon Bennett Cup against Britain, and each country was represented by three entries, with the car that finished the race in the shortest time winning the race on behalf of his country. Selwyn Edge driving a Napier, and representing the Automobile Club of Britain and Ireland, was the only competitor to finish the race and so Britain were the winners of the Gordon Bennett Cup and would be required to defend it in Britain the following year.
