Daimler Phoenix wins Nice - Magagnosc - Nice

Wilhelm Bauer wins the Nice - Magagnosc - Nice touring race held during Nice Week in a Daimler Phoenix two-seater racing car. Bauer covers the 85-km route at an average speed of 34.7 km/h. Success proves elusive, however, in both the speed event and the Nice - La Turbie hillclimb. Back in Cannstatt, Emil Jellinek – who had entered the Daimler driven by Bauer under his pseudonym "Mercédès" – subsequently insists on the development of a new car which will guarantee victory the following year.
