The banked track was also used for a great variety of speed record attempts, and other events such as The Million, a contest in the late 1930s between Bugatti and Delahaye, with a prize fund of one million francs put up by the French government.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRevived after World War II, Montlhery gradually faded from the international scene as a result of a series of accidents in the late 1950s, including those which claimed the lives of Guy Mairesse and Louis Rosier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough Montlhery was fully active when the original edition of this book was written, sadly, it seemed even then that it was likely to follow Brooklands in closure.
