Checking against the GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"Initially, it was decided that each car was only allowed to use one imperial gallon (4.5 l)" - how come this isn't written out fully as litres?

"While the majority of cars were British, there were also entries from France, including a Vinot-Deguingand and a Peugeot and the United States, including a pair of White steam cars and a Cadillac." - unsourced

I would recommend splitting the Practice section into two paragraphs, to make it more comfortable for the reader
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No original research found.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article is well written, comprehensive and well sourced. I couldn't find anything enough to put this on hold, so I'll pass it now as it meets the criteria. Good work! JAGUAR 22:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
