From northern France.

Am I right that this shall exclude Paris and its suburbs?

Not there.

The race took place between 1910 and 1914?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2015, 06:27:51 PM »

Exactly.

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** January 12, 2015, 02:21:38 PM »

Built in what is today the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region?

coupe de voiturettes, Oostende, Belgium, september 1911?

FrontMan · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2022, 06:10:22 AM »

Coupe des Voiturettes is correct;...but not Belgium, and not 1911

D.S.P.L. at the 1910 Coupe des Voiturettes. Around 1910 Pierre d'Hespel being passionate about cars, created with his brother Félix, the DSPL brand, which takes up the initials of their name.

Excellent!...The point is yours

.

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** October 09, 2022, 04:18:47 AM »

I think DSPL are not the initials, but the name was chosen because it sounds like d'Hespel.

hermanoto · « **Reply #20 on:** October 09, 2022, 05:02:56 AM »

I have a picture with the same building in the background stating: Ostende!

FrontMan · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2022, 05:39:20 AM »

Hermanoto is correct in that the Gallica reference is 1911, and at Ostende. Other sources say 1910, and suggest Boulogne!....

Perhaps we can also allocate a point to Hermanoto in the interests of fair play?

hermanoto · « **Reply #22 on:** October 09, 2022, 05:40:54 AM »

..it was with a Lion Peugeot. Now I have also a picture withaa description of the DSPL at Ostende 1911:

The business names on the building seem to be Flemish, so I am happy to concede that the venue is Ostende.

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** October 09, 2022, 05:54:20 AM »

Yes, "In de Voermansrust" and the owner's name is E. van de Wal.
