Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

1949, Monopole-Simca of de Montrémy and Dussous ? I take it that the "Monopole" has nothing to do with the german Monopol BMW of Herman Polensky (Mono[posto] Pole[nsky]) that came up in Germany just after WW2 ? Forgot to add: The picture was taken at Mulsanne.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Car looks far too advanced for post war 49. Also seems to have radial tyres and the driver is wearing a later helmet IMO.

This Monopole is a brand of Floquet Monopole company, a valve and segment manufacturer, which was a great sponsor during these years
