L Chiron at the Wheel of the Type 51 Bugatti: A Champion's Triumph at the 1931 French Grand Prix This photograph captures the legendary racing driver, L Chiron, in the midst of victory as he confidently grips the wheel of the Type 51 Bugatti during the 1931 French Grand Prix at Montlhery. The Type 51, an eight-cylinder, 2-liter racing car, boasted an impressive 160 brake horsepower, making it a formidable force on the track. With an average speed of 78.16 mph, the Type 51 and its predecessor, the Type 35, shattered records by winning an unprecedented 33 major road races in just seven years. The Type 51 Bugatti, which closely resembled the iconic Type 35, was a testament to the groundbreaking engineering and design of the Bugatti automobile company. Chiron, a skilled and experienced driver, expertly maneuvered the vehicle to claim the coveted title in the 1931 ten-hour race, cementing his place in the annals of motorsport history. The image of Chiron at the wheel, with the Type 51's sleek lines and powerful presence, encapsulates the thrill and excitement of the golden age of racing.
