Hello all, I am trying to find out correct entrants and racing numbers for the 1946 Coupe d'Entraide Francais at Prado on May 13. Through photographic evidence I have confirmed the Equipe Gordini team (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9), the DB-Citroen cars (15 Bonnet and 17 Lachaize), Creuchet's Bugatti #17 and Brunot's Riley #27. Any further help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Thank you jhd

 

This clears up a number of things in one reply. Firstly, was "Legloan" printed without a space? ie. Le Gloan. I have seen Le Gloan, Le Gioan and Le Gaoan, We can asume he non-started.

 

Again, was it Boucard printed and not Bouchard? Another point of conjecture to us who are researching the immediate post war period.

 

Brunot and not Brunet? I think this has been touched upon many times.

 

When you wrote  "SAM?" Amilcar. was that hand-written in the program? And lastly the "Crochet" in manuscript would refer to the Creuchet often seen in these early races.

 

Does anyone know the chassis number of Eugene Martin's BMW. I have tracked down most of the 328 (or BMW Speciales) that ran post war but this one seems to elude me. I know he bougt it at a war surplus style of sale along with Sommer,

 

Also, the Constant Knepper Bugatti would be the car he had from the early 30's. Anyone know the chassis number?

 

Speaking of Bugattis. Anyone alse having trouble logging onto the Bugattiregister site?

 

Thanks again, jhd

I can't help with the entry list, but please note that the event's name should read Coupe de l'Entr'Aide Française. L'Entr'Aide Française was the new name of collaborationist Secours National, Vichy's regime charity association (similar to the Red Cross for instance).
