On September 3, 1911, a meeting was organised at Ostende (Oostende in Dutch). Four cups were awarded to different winners:
Coupe d'Ostende and Coupe Williame (12 laps)
1- Georges Boillot on Lion-Peugeot
Coupe des Voiturettes (12 laps or 10 laps, following sources)
1- Jules Goux in Lion-Peugeot V4 2,98 L 46 HP
Coupe de Liedekerke (10 laps = 334.7 km)
1- Verhaegen (Fondu)
I think I've got a Georges Boillot's biography somewhere.

Do you think, in your spare time, you could translate George Boillot's autobiography into English for the rest of us?
Then you could hunt down Robert Benoist's book and translate that too.
And, when you've finished that...
Oh well, it was worth a try.

Alternativelly some nuns could do it
I am not -necesarily- joking ;)
I do not know what ingenious ways of making some money do have the nuns associations (if that´s the name) in the rest of the World, but here in Spain I read sometime ago that they were "employed" by a Bank to type in the details of cheques presented for payment.
Whilst I do not expect average nuns to be fluent in two languages, one never knows!
But seriously, what Ray has just suggested -The Nostalgia Forum becoming an employer, in my free interpretation- sounds very well...

Your's a difficult question because the 1911 Coupe d’Oostende was a minor voiturette race. Not more than already mentioned by Marcor and Tony can be found in my documentation.

I was not aware of the existence of a biography of Georges Boillot. Who wrote it, when, who was the publisher, what was the title etc?

it is included in "l'Automobile magazine", October 1986.
I'll try to translate it as it can interest you.

If you find time, please translate the five page biography of Georges Boillot for us. Your translation does not have to be five pages long, by the way. If you can give us all the relevant points within that story, including all the dates, that would be fine. I think that all of us at TNF would be very grateful to you if you could bring us a French biography of Georges Boillot . But again, the more you can tell us, the better.
Here, in advance, is my "Thank You Marcor".
