EDITORS COMMENTS
This tile picture, titled "Paris-Madrid Race 1903. Gabriel sur Mors," is a stunning illustration of an iconic moment in the annals of early automobile racing history. The image, crafted in intricate ceramic detail, depicts Gabriel, the driver, at the helm of a Mors automobile during the Paris-Madrid Race of 1903. The race, which spanned over 1,100 kilometers, was a grueling test of speed, endurance, and mechanical prowess. The Mors car, a marvel of engineering for its time, was powered by a 30 horsepower engine and boasted a top speed of 60 miles per hour. The vehicle's sleek design and innovative features, including pneumatic tires provided by the Michelin Tyre Company, set it apart from its competitors. The Paris-Madrid Race of 1903 was a significant event in the burgeoning world of automobile racing. It marked the first long-distance rally, with drivers and their teams facing numerous challenges, such as rough roads, extreme weather conditions, and limited resources. The race was a true testament to the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of speed. This tile picture, preserved in the Michelin Building in the Fulham Road, Chelsea, serves as a testament to the rich history of motor racing and the pivotal role that the Michelin Tyre Company played in the development of the automobile industry. The intricate illustration, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, transports us back in time, allowing us to relive the thrill and excitement of the Paris-Madrid Race of 1903.
