The 1905 Coupe de l'Auto was also known as the Coupe de Voiturettes, so I assume that this name is also incorrect.  How about the 1905 Coupe de Caters in Nice?

The Aries is clearly a touring car, not stripped for racing. Is it something like the Coupe de Regularite ?

No, the missing word is the name of a town, which is known for a historic moment some years later.

Yes, that's it.
I think it is fair to give a point to ropat53 and nicanary each. Well done, gentlemen.

Thank you very much. :)

And thank you from me too. It was a guess based upon your kind clue. I've never heard of the event but there is one entry on the internet which refers to a Grande Semaine Sportive de Compiegne, Coupe de l'Automobile Club de l'Oise held on the 8/9/10 October 1905. The drivers of the puzzle car look well covered in clothing so it could well have been pictured in October.
