EDITORS COMMENTS
This ceramic tile image, housed within the historic Michelin Building on Fulham Road in London, commemorates a pivotal moment in both automotive and tire industry history: the Paris to Bordeaux Race of 1895. The race marked the first time a car running on Michelin pneumatic, inflated rubber tires claimed victory. In the early 19th century, the automobile industry was in its infancy, and the concept of pneumatic tires was still in its experimental stages. Michelin, a leading tire manufacturer, recognized the potential of these innovative tires and saw an opportunity to prove their worth in the high-stakes world of motorsports. The Paris to Bordeaux Race, a grueling 600-kilometer (373-mile) competition, presented the perfect platform for Michelin to showcase their tires' superior performance. The race demanded speed, urgency, and determination from both the drivers and their vehicles. The image portrays the winning car, its tires hugging the road with unwavering grip, as it surges forward, leaving competitors behind. Teamwork and innovation were the keys to success in this race. Michelin's tire technology, combined with the skill and determination of the driving team, propelled the vehicle to victory. This triumph not only solidified Michelin's reputation as a pioneer in the tire industry but also set the stage for the future of automotive racing. The intricate details of this tile illustration bring the excitement and energy of that historic day to life, capturing the spirit of innovation, urgency, and determination that defined the Paris to Bordeaux Race of 1895.
