Always There, Women in Motorsport: The fast women of la belle époque

Women's history in motorsport is rich, and that has always been the case. Most of these stories however aren’t well known and aren’t spoken about enough. Women have always been in motorsport and always will be.

Three French women, Hélène van Zuylen, Camille du Gast, and Anne de Rochechouart de Mortemart are some of the fastest women from France’s La Belle Epoque (circa 1880-1914).

In 1898 Anne de Rochechouart de Mortemart (1847-1933) (also known as the Duchess of Uzes) became the first woman in France to obtain her driver’s license. While getting out of the car she announced with delight that woman had just overcome a new barrier. Not long after she also became the first to be caught speeding for which she had to pay a five franc fine.

in 1926 she founded the first female Automobile Club, L'Automobile Club féminin de France (ACFF)

The Duchess of Uzes in 1927

Hélène van Zuylen (pictured on the cover image) was a French author but also the first woman to compete in an international auto race. Baron Etienne van Zuylen, her husband, was the President of the Automobile Club de France

She entered the 1898 Paris–Amsterdam–Paris using the nickname Snail, while her husband used the nickname Escargot. She successfully competed the trail and entered the Paris-Berlin race in 1901 but was stopped by technical failure.

That year Hélène, a lesbian, would meet Renée Vivien with whom she would have an affair. Vivien's letters to a confidant revealed that she considered herself married to Hélène. Most of Vivien's work is dedicated to "H.L.C.B.," the initials of Zuylen's first names.

Just over a decade before she died, Hélène van Zuylen created the Renée Vivien Prize, Honoring the woman she loved and intending to give encouragement to female writers.

Hélène van Zuylen - Nouvelle Revue internationale illustrée, December 1908

Camille du Gast (1868-1942) finished 33rd (19th in class) out of 122 participants in the 1901 Paris-Berlin race. Du Gast, achieved the results despite driving her husband's 20CV Panhard-Levassor which was not designed for racing. She had to start the race in last because she was a woman. The race did mark 2 female competitors with du Gast and van Zuylen. She loved several extreme sports such as mountaineering, parachuting and frencing.

In 1902 she competed in the Paris-Vienna race and also wanted to compete in the New York-San Francisco but was refused entry because she was a woman.

In 1903 she would start the Paris-Madrid race. Which she would enter with a proper racing car, a works 5.7-litre de Dietrich car. It was a chaotic race with 207 competitors which unfortunately saw several deaths. Camille started in 29th and gained 9 positions in the first 120 km. She had climbed up to P8 before stopping to give medical aid to a fellow driver, Phil Stead (also driving a de Dietrich) involved in a near-fatal crash.

Later one of the leading drivers at that time, Charles Jarrot said that if Camille had not stopped Stead likely would have died. After an ambulance arrived she continued the race eventually finishing 44th or 45th in the shortened race.

The French government would stop the race at Bordeaux, as over half of the field (275 cars) had either crashed or retired and several drivers and spectators had died.

Open road racing was banned, so in 1904 Camille wanted to participate in the French elimination trial for the Gordon Bennett races, as the Benz factory team offered du Gast a race seat. But the Autosport Club France (ACF) banned women from racing. Du Gast published a letter in protest but the ban was defended as the ACF could not risk a woman getting injured or killed in a racing event.

Because of this she ventured to boat racing. One of those races was caught by a big storm which saw most competitors either abandon their ship or they sank. She was rescued and later declared the winner of that race.

Eventually she had to put a halt to her adventurous life when she survived an assassination attempt by her daughter. Nothing was ever the same for her after that. From that point she devoted herself to animals. She would serve as president of the 'French Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals'

Veterán felvonulással ünnepelete a május 1-ét a 125 éves Közlekedési Múzeum

A Közlekedési Múzeum idén ünnepli fennállásának 125. évfordulóját. A jeles alkalomból május 1-jén klasszikusjármű-felvonulást rendeztek a Városligetből a kőbányai Északi Járműjavítóba. A felvonuláson több veterános klub is részt vett, valamit privát veterángyűjtők egyedi darabjai is felbukkantak a 250 fős konvolyban. A Közlekedési Múzeum saját járművei, egy 1974-es Citroen DS - amit méltán hívtak “Istennőnek” - egy 1947-es Pobeda, illetve egy 1968-as BMW R60/2 típusú motorkerékpár is a saját lábán gurult, utóbbit dr. Schneller Domonkos, a Múzeum főigazgatója vezette. A majális az Északi Járműjavító és az Opera Eiffel Műhelyház közös udvarán folytatódott, ahol már hosszú sorban várták a látogatók, hogy beléphessenek a Dízelcsarnokba, és megtekinthessék az új tárlatot, a “Mivel megyünk? Energiamix a közlekedésben” című új időszaki kiállítást, amely a múzeum minden eddigi kiállításánál nagyobb területen, hiánypótló módon mutatja be korunk egyik legfontosabb témáját: az energiafelhasználást. A majális az új időszaki kiállításon túl az Animato klarinét kvartett zenei közreműködésével, veterán jármű szépségversennyel, kerékpáros akadálypályával és házi pörkölttel várta az érdeklődőket. Schneller Domonkos főigazgató köszöntötte a látogatókat és a veteránautó-tulajdonosokat, D. Kovács Róbert Antal, Kőbánya polgármestere  - és a rendezvény fő támogatója - , továbbá Ókovács Szilveszter, a Magyar Állami Operaház főigazgatója szintén felszólalt a közönség előtt. Az esemény háziasszonya Zavaros Eszter, operaénekes, műsorvezető volt, aki magával ragadó jókedvvel és rutinos felkészültséggel vezényelte a programokat. A délután folyamán a múzeum elismerésében részesítette az összegyűlt járműveket, Schneller Domonkos díjat adott át többek között a legrégebbi járműnek: egy 1896-os Panhard & Levassor gépjármű szegedi tulajdonosának. A közönségkedvenc díjat a Kaáli Autó-Motor Múzeum 1973-as Lamborghini Espada-ja kapta. A felvonulók között olyan járműcsodák tették tiszteletüket, mint egy 1916-os Indian PowerPlus motorkerékpár, vagy az 1913-as Studebaker nyitott személygépkocsi, egy 1929-es Mercedes Benz Nürburg személygépkocsi, Lukács Ottó 1929-es magyar Méray Jap 600-as motorkerékpárja, amellyel tavaly 6000 km-es túrát teljesített Amerikában. A múzeum kollégái 125 szeletes tortával kedveskedtek a látogatóknak. Az új tárlat napjaink egyik legfontosabb témáját, az energiaforrások kérdéskörét vizsgálja a közlekedés vonatkozásában a Dízelcsarnok 6000 m²-es kiállítóterében, mely október végéig 10-17 óráig, szerdától vasárnapig látogatható. A múzeum különleges programokkal várja az egyéni és csoportos látogatókat, a iskolás osztályok figyelmébe ajánlja a múzeumpedagógia foglalkozásokat. Tovább információk a www.mivelmegyunk.hu weboldalon érhetőek el. A múzeummal kapcsolatos legfrissebb híreket és programajánlókat a Közlekedési Múzeum Facebook oldalán követhetjük.

PANHARD 24CT (1964 г.)

Фирма Panhard-Levassor начинала со строительства бензиновых двигателей по лицензии Даймлера, а в 1891 г. выпустила свой первый автомобиль. Он стал первом в мире, имеющим классическую компоновку: двигатель был установлен впереди, а задние колеса приводились при помощи цепей. А на вторых в мире гонка

Race failure spelled doom for Porthos HOW much traffic could there have been in London back in 1907? The city’s population had just reached seven million and motor cars, nearly all of them from France, started appearing on the streets in the late 1890s. In 1895 there were 15 cars on the streets, with actress Minnie Palmer in her Rougemont probably the nation’s first woman driver. First man to own and drive a car in the UK was Evelyn Ellis, who had a Panhard et Levassor.

Una storia al futuro al Mauto di Torino

Collocata nello spazio dell’area mostre temporanee del Mauto di Torino, la mostra Una storia al futuro, aperta fino all’8 ottobre,  racconta i 90 anni del museo, il suo ruolo e i legami con il contesto automobilistico torinese, attraverso quattro sezioni e una serie di materiali provenienti dalla collezione e dal Centro di Documentazione. L’obiettivo è creare un percorso di approfondimento all’esposizione permanente, mettendo in luce le storie dei protagonisti e i momenti che hanno segnato l’evoluzione dell’automobile e del museo tra passato e futuro. Le relazioni intessute da Carlo Biscaretti, fondatore del Museo, con diverse figure di rilievo nel mondo automobilistico, sono il punto di partenza della mostra e costituiscono il nucleo della prima sezione, con la Panhard & Levassor del 1894, vettura esposta alla Mostra retrospettiva sulle automobili d’epoca, organizzata da Carlo Biscaretti in occasione del Salone di Milano del 1933, primo atto della fondazione del Museo, la voiturette Leon Bollée 3 HP, uno dei primi modelli posseduti da Cesare Goria Gatti, tra i fondatori della Fiat e dell’Automobil Club di Torino, che ebbe per primo l’idea del Museo con Roberto Biscaretti di Ruffia, padre di Carlo, la Fiat 18/24 HP, donata al Museo da Carlo Biscaretti, la Fiat 16/20 HP, donata da Sofia Cacherano di Bricherasio, collezionista e sorella di Emanuele, il conte tra i primi a credere nella nascita della Fiat e la figura di Vincenzo Lancia, collaudatore e pilota della Fiat, del quale è esposta la Lancia Lambda Weymann. A rappresentare l’automobile come progetto c’è la storia della creazione della Itala 11, un prototipo innovativo dell’azienda torinese guidata da Giulio Cesare Cappa,  che ebbe un ruolo di primo piano anche con altri due marchi torinesi, l’Aquila Italiana e la Fiat. Lo stretto nesso tra l’automobile, il Museo e Torino dove, fin dal 1900, ha sede il prestigioso Salone dell’Automobile, trova la sua espressione nel racconto di Luigi Bertazzini che testimonia l’evoluzione dell’automobile dagli anni Cinquanta agli anni Settanta e la trasformazione urbana della città, con lo sviluppo industriale che ne modifica il volto. La seconda sezione si focalizza sull’architettura, dal progetto di Amedeo Albertini, al rinnovamento architettonico ed espositivo compiuto negli anni Duemila, un punto di svolta che inaugura un nuovo corso del Museo. La terza sezione parte dall’eredità lasciata da Carlo Biscaretti al Museo che consente, dagli anni Sessanta, di instaurare una rete di rapporti con musei internazionali, collezionisti e associazioni di settore, in un momento storico in cui l’automobile d’epoca ebbe un ruolo sempre più importante. In questi anni compaiono anche i primi manuali sul restauro del veicolo, con protagoniste importanti vetture restaurate, come l’Alfa Romeo 8c 2300, che alla bellezza delle forme di un design ricercato unisce una storia motoristica, molto ambita dal mercato collezionistico. La quarta sezione è dedicata al Centro di Restauro, nato dall’esigenza di superare la criticità tra conservazione e funzionalità dell’automobile, come con il progetto della Carrozza Bordino, protagonista nei prossimi anni di un caso studio di restauro di uno dei primi mezzi a motore realizzati in Italia, oggi protagonista di un’installazione multimediale che porterà i visitatori a rivivere lo spirito della Torino di metà Ottocento.
