RACE NOTES
1) Grand Prix
2) First separate European GP. Previous European GP (Italy 1923, France 1924, Belgium 1925)
3) Grid formation 2-2-2.
4) The feet of the Delage drivers were slowly roasted because the exhaust pipes passed under the
floor beneath the driver. This was the reason for the many driver changes with Delage.
