Description:
Second car: a Tatra 12 limousine. Petr Hošťálek
According to the registration plate
Something about the OXX-864 plate on plate 0024. It is registered to Jindřich Perinka, České Budějovice, Chelčického, as a "test plate". At the time it did not differ from ordinary plates in design or colours, but it is the equivalent of today's plates with green lettering. Test plates were used by various car repair shops, workshops, manufacturers and car dealers for test drives of a car that needed to be tested or transported somewhere. They were not tied to a specific vehicle, only to the owner, who had to keep a logbook for the plate.

A low open racing car stands directly at the start, with the front registration OXX 864 clearly visible. Several more cars are queued in a single line behind it. Spectators and officials in coats and hats enclose the starting lane; a START banner and advertising banner span the street, and the cobbles are wet.
