Gustave Caillois nationality[edit]

When creating this page, I could not discover whether he was French. Could anyone confirm this? Paddyslacker 01:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

For the driver listed as just "Page", not even David Hodges' book knows the nationality! A7V2 (talk) 03:52, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MPG?[edit]

"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)[reply]

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)[reply]
