British rider Harry Grant (No.5) passes Georges Wambst (No.2 - France) for a second time during the 1935 "Les Cent Miles" at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Grant would go on to win from Erich Metze (Germany) and Charles Lacquehay (France). This event had the riders racing behind motors for 160 kms, "cent miles". Note the additional fuel tank strapped to Wambst's moto. From "Match l'Intran" No.480, 24 September 1935.
