Gordon-Brillie: Arthur Duray (358 words)
Arthur Duray was the first man to drive at more than 80 miles an hour, no mean achievement when you look at the bone-shaker in which he did it.
Duray, a large man belonging to the fur-coat brigade, was the first to use the new Ostend road for record breaking, and there he covered the measured kilometre in 26.8 seconds, much faster than the then-standing record of 29 seconds held by the Mors.
But Duray was not content with his new speed of 83.47 mph, and four months later was out again to push the figure up to 84.73 mph, this time at the old official road stretch at Dourdan.
