Weird History

If you're thinking that a car race from New York to Paris doesn't sound like a good idea because, you know, ocean and all, you'd be right. But that didn't stop the Great 1908 Automobile Race that started in New York and ended in Paris. The details of what went down are even crazier than the idea itself.

The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered

The History Guy remembers "The Great Race" or the 1908 New York to Paris Auto Race and an exciting, forgotten moment in automotive history. The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.

1907 Thomas Flyer: Piloted in the first transcontinental automobile race in 1908, the car took first place when it arrived in Paris months after departing New York City.
