Liège
Scheduled for use for the first time on Saturday 26th August 1939 for the
GP Automobile de l'Exposition Internationale de l'Eau de
Liège, the event only got as far as practice before the decision
was taken to cancel the event. The reason was that due to the imminent risk of
war, and the German border only being 40km away, the authorities feared that
any resulting panic from the mobilisation being proclaimed the following day
would have to heavy a consequence if a large crowd turned out.
Entrants for the race were:
Biondetti Alfa Romeo 412 (w/o S.C.)
Farina Alfa Romeo 412 (w/o S.C.)
Dreyfus Delahaye
Ralph Delahaye
