at the site of the targaflorio, they mention"the older race of the world", maybe they mean the oldest race of the world. It is held from 1906 to the mid seventies at Sicilie, Italy. source: www.targaflorio.info Possibly the 999 built by Henry Ford and raced in 1901. The car is on permanent display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. It appears that the first race was held on July 22nd 1894 between Paris and Rouen in Normandy and organized by sports journalist Pierre Giffar of the daily "Petit Journal". A total of 21 cars, 14 powered by gas and 7 by steam, took part. Only 14 made it, after roughly 10 hours.

The "La Marquise" is considered one of the world's oldest race cars, built in 1884. It was steam-powered and designed by De Dion-Bouton et Trépardoux for the first automobile race organized in 1887.
