New York to Paris Auto Race Misses Few Challenges
Six cars started from Times Square on Lincoln's Birthday for a 21000 mile World Run to Paris. The Thomas and Zust led early while the Protos and Motobloc faltered. Bad Indiana blizzards, Rockies, and desert hurdles tested crews before Thomas reached San Francisco days ahead of rivals. The Thomas faced Alaska delays and sanctions, affecting the overall standings as teams pushed toward the finish.

The Protos and Thomas set out together from Vladivostok racing toward Paris with harsh Siberian road conditions, railroad schedules, and fierce endurance. The Protos led early, gear failures and delays hampered the Thomas, but a dramatic chase across Russia culminated in the Germans ahead into St Petersburg.
