Strictly-speaking it didn't race for the Gordon Bennett Cup - it was not selected for the GB team after the elimination trials. However, this ad suggests that Star were a bit economical with the truth.

I did not say it actually raced there.  ;)

But it was planned as a Gordon Bennett race car.

Thank you for this ad.
