Racing out of the curve at Hôtel Negresco, Finland's famed ice racer, Tavho Myrsky, makes a sudden break to take the lead, accelerating past Norway in a brilliant overtaking as they come back onto the Promenade des Anglais, this time heading east. Myrsky, having started at the very last position off pole, at the first curve has completed a simply astonishing run to take the lead. Nothing stands in the way ahead. It will come down to driver skill and luck as Myrsky will almost certainly now gap the following cars, the deep-throated roar of the Chrysler Special reaching a crescendo as he pulls away from Norway's Omalie in her Alfa Romeo Monza. Behind, Monaco flies out of the hairpin, holding to the inside lane in a cloud of burnt rubber. Nearly as daring, Belgium cuts to the outside and skids slightly as he exits the corner. Yet Sebi Orsi, the Italian normally known for his daring, instead downshifts and plays it safe. Perhaps he could have pressed the opportunity with the others out of the curve -- but he did not. Will it be a smart move? It seems doubtful as the other pilots have shifted up and are now pulling away in higher gears and will certainly leave him far behind by the time the pack reaches Hôtel Ruhl. Farther back, Sweden and France make a daring dash ahead, closely nipped by Germany, who presses around the curve with extraordinary Prussian precision, his white car gleaming in the sunlight reflecting off of the waters of the Côte de’Azur as he seems to almost casually overtake four cars on the inside lane. Britain holds on in the curve but watches as the Czech driver presses past, while both Spain and Switzerland head to the outside lane together and gently slide into the hairpin, far behind the pack.
