Spain makes a break down the straightaway toward the curve at Opéra as the French driver, Aristide La Fontaine, presses on in hot pursuit. The crowd thunders his name urging him on, "Aristide! Aristide!" Yet the "Volcán" is undeniably in the lead, at least for the moment. The respect of all here at Nice is apparent as many salute the Spaniard as he speeds down the straight. Farther back, the Swiss driver shifts up in a difficult run toward the curve at Jardin Albert 1er. For now, he holds onto a possible third place finish, even as Vitez Rychly of Czechoslovakia skids to the outside of the curve Place Masséna to set up for an upcoming attempt at overtaking in the next curve. Behind, the gasoline fire expands -- but the drivers are all safely clear. The rescue team gently takes the Belgian driver from Sebi Orsi who, without hesitation, looks back toward his stricken Maserati -- surely, it cannot drive, non? A grin spreads across his face -- but first he turns to the admiring throngs.
