This is a machine that makes me just shake my head. A Gran Prix race car with a chain drive. Slow lumbering dump trucks, fine, but the 1908 French Gran Prix winner averaged 69.045 mph (111.117 km/h) for 478 miles (770 km)and the fastest lap was over 78 mph (126 km/h).
They also had the first Gran Prix fatality that year.
