Léon Théry
Léon Théry (16 April 1879 – 8 March 1909) was a French racing driver, nicknamed "Le Chronometer", who won the premier European race, the Gordon Bennett Cup, in both 1904 and 1905.〔(New York Times, 9 March 1909, Auto driver Leon Thery dead. )〕〔(Historic Racing, Profile of Léon Théry )〕 ==Career== Théry started out as a mechanic which gave him an understanding of the need to drive according to the car's abilities, and nurse it home to victory. His nickname was "Le Chronometer", for his reliable lap times,〔Wise, David Burgess."Decauville: Road-going Rolling Stock", in Ward, Ian, executive editor. ''World of Automobiles'' (London: Orbis, 1974), Volume 5, p.506.〕 and he became one of the top drivers in the early 1900s.〔 He competed respectably up until 1903, driving a Decauvillle, and became a ''voiturette'' champion.〔〔(MotorBase, Decauville )〕 He is regarded as winning 'one of the first Voiturette races, if not the very first'.〔
