Sporting Cars and Cyclecar Races
Some cyclecars such as Amilcar, Major or Salmson of France had good enough performance and handling to be regarded as sports cars.
Races dedicated for cyclecars were also run with the first event of this kind organised by the Automobile Club de France in 1913 and a Cyclecar GP at Le Mans in 1920.
