Camille Jenatzy
Camille Jenatzy (1868, Schaerbeek – 8 December 1913, Habay la Neuve) was a Belgian race car driver. He is known for breaking the land speed record three times and being the first man to break the 100 km/h barrier.
He was nicknamed ''Le Diable Rouge'' ("The Red Devil") after the colour of his beard .〔J.R. Holthusen, The Fastest Men on Earth, (Sutton Publishing, 1999), p.6〕
==Record setting==
On 17 January 1899 at Achères, Yvelines near Paris, France, he reached the speed of 66.66 km/h (41.42 mph) over the kilometer, driving a CGA Dogcart. That same day, the record was broken by Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat, topped on 27 January 1899 when Jenatzy achieved 80.35 km/h (49.93 mph). This record was again broken by Chasseloup-Laubat, who applied rudimentary streamlining to his Jeantaud. Jenatzy replied with his third land speed record on 29 April 1899, reaching 105.88 km/h (65.79 mph) in the electric CITA Nº 25 ''La Jamais Contente'', the first purpose-designed land speed racer,〔Northey, Tom. "Land Speed Record", in Northey, Tom, ed. ''World of Automobiles" (London: Orbis, 1974), Vol 10, p.1162.〕 and the first record over 100 km/h (60 mph). In 1902, he lost the land speed record to Léon Serpollet.
Jenatzy won the 1903 Gordon Bennet Cup in Athy, Ireland, at the wheel of a Mercedes.〔(eMercedesBenz, A Look Back At Camille Jenatzy And The 1903 Gordon Bennett Trophy (3 June 2008) ); (Mercedes-Benz History:Â A Look Back At Camille Jenatzy And The 1903 Gordon Bennett Trophy | eMercedesBenz - The Unofficial Mercedes-Benz Weblog ) at www.emercedesbenz.com〕
