1911 Car Race

SWEDEN. A  big winter car race was held in  Sweden in 1911. The task was to drive  as fast as possible from Gothenburg to Stockholm.

Who won  was apperantly not that important due to a newspaper clip from 1911.
-Mr Janck something …  and what car he drove no one knows.
More important was that prince William came with a new Benz and that princess  Maria rode shotgun.

  1. 3 timmar med tåg ja, inte bil… ta reda på korrekt fakta… 473 km mellan gbg och sthlm, ni säger det ska ta 3 timmar om man håller hastighetsbegränsningarna. 473/3 = 158 km/h

  2. Härliga läsare av tidningen !!!
    Såklart är det fel. Google map sade 3 timmar och inte trodde raggaren de skickade in tågtider i vägkartan!?
    -Tusen tack insändare “Gör rätt”.

    4.36 bakom ratten skall det vara enligt Google .
    Ändrar det i tidninga´ också

    Wounderful readers of the mag.
    Of course it’s wrong: Google map said 3 hours and the greaser and car guy did not think Google shoot in train stuff in the roadmap!?
    – Big thanks to “Gör rätt”.

    4,36 hours is the driving time says Google map.
    Go’na change that in the mag too.

    :o)
