Motor racing at the 1900 Summer Olympics
Motor racing was an unofficial sport at the 1900 Summer Olympics. Fourteen events were contested in conjunction with 1900 World's Fair.
Entries were by manufacturers rather than drivers and competitors' names were not adequately reported at the time. The exceptions are the two classes of the Paris-Toulouse-Paris race, one class of which was won by Louis Renault. Most events had only French competitors but there were some international entries.
