Grand Prix Sunbeams 1922
Sunbeam Works Racing cars participated in the 1922 XVI Grand Prix de l’A.C.F. in Strasbourg. The race took place on July 15, 1922 and was run to a formula stipulating that maximum engine capacity should not exceed 2- litre and that the cars should be two-seaters weighing not less than 650 kg. The formula was to remain in force for four years producing "fields of brilliance to be unequalled for many years" it was the first rolling massed start in the history of Grand Prix motor-racing.〔〔
Three〔 Ernest Henry designed team cars were constructed for the event and a similar fourth test car served as a test, practice and spare car until its engine was ruined by fire before the race.〔The Boys’ Life of Sir Henry Segrave, Capt. Malcolm Campbell and J Wentworth Day P.80〕〔Sir Henry Segrave, Cyril Posthumus, 1961 P. 87〕〔Motor Sport 1979 August William Boddy〕〔Sunbeam Talbot Darracq, Journal of the STD Register, Number 180 Winter 2007, Oliver Heal and Bruce Dowell, P. 31-35〕 During the race the engines in all three Sunbeam team cars failed and none finished.
After the Grand Prix one of the Sunbeam cars was entered in a Brooklands race, which it won. All four cars were subsequently sold to privateers and entered in various events with varied levels of success. All three team cars and the test/practice car survive as a rare example of a complete British Works team of the Vintage era. However, only one is original; the other three are genuine, authentic and resurrected.〔Directory of Historic Racing Cars, Denis Jenkinson, 1987 P.11-12〕

The start line where elaborate viewing tribunes and fronting ‘pits’ were built was at Duppigheim, first corner was at Entzheim, second at Innenheim, and final corner at Duttlenheim. It was long, requiring 60 laps to complete the .〔Grand Prix de L’A.C.F. Strasbourg 1922 75eme Anniversaire, Bernard Truche, 1997 P. 9-17〕
