The French Grand Prix can be traced back to 1906 when the race was first run on 66 miles of public roads near to the city of Le Mans. The race took 12 hours to compete and was won by Ferenc Szisz of Hungary. The race saw a big prize fund for the winner, which led to the Big Prize moniker.

In the early days, the Grand Prix de l’ACF was hugely influential in the establishing of rules and regulations of motor racing and in turn Formula 1 which has continued to have a massive influence eon the sports with many great drivers from France featuring in the sport.
