The favorites this year include the Dutchman Hans Tak with Mercedes 300 SL, the Brit Bill Banks (Bristol), the European champion 1954 Walter Schluter, the German crack Werner Engel, this time with a Mercedes 300 SL, and the Dane Stenfeldt Hansen with the same car. The special stages have special names such as ‘Welcome to the Vosges’, ‘Morning in the Alps’ and ‘Turning in the Jura’.
