Hi, I'll be more specific...Albert Guyot drove Delage,Ballot,Bignan,Duesenberg and Rolland Pilain cars between 1908 and 1923. Inspired by the last one,he decided to build his own car.The Guyot Speciale used a Rolland Pilain chassis with a Burt-Mc Cullogh 6 cylinder 2 litre engine with sleeve valves.It raced in Spain and Italy but never completed a single race...In 1926  he built others 3 cars with a new 1.5 litre engine according to the new international racing rules but also in this configuration they never completed the Indianapolis race.
