When creating this page, I could not discover whether he was French. Could anyone confirm this? Paddyslacker 01:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like he competed for the French teams in the elimination rounds of the Gordon Bennett Cup, so I've added this nationality. Paddyslacker 20:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I realise this is over 10 years late, but according to David Hodges' "The French Grand Prix" he is indeed French. I will also fill in the missing nationalities using his book as a reference. A7V2 ( talk) 03:46, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
For the driver listed as just "Page", not even David Hodges' book knows the nationality! A7V2 ( talk) 03:52, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
"The race was ran under a 9.4 mpg fuel consumption limit."
I'm sure that's not how it was stated, considering that in Europe the fuel consumption is usually given in " l/100km". And than the French invented the litre and the kilometer and may not be too sure what a gallon is. (That is easy, of course. A gallon is 4.54609 l or 3.785411784 l.)
Doing the math, 9.4 mpg is either 25 l/100 km (U.S. gallons) or 30 l/100 km (British gallons). I have no idea which.-- ospalh ( talk) 16:20, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- It was stated as 30 l/100 km. I've corrected the statement and added a citation. -- Colin Douglas Howell ( talk) 03:47, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
