Footnotes
The Prinz Heinrich-Fahrt (also known as the Prince Henry Tour), named after Prince Albert Wilhelm Heinrich of Prussia, was a multi-day long distance motor car contest held between 1908 and 1911. Being the premier motoring event of its time, it can be considered a precursor to the German Grand Prix, even though it was closer to modern day rallying. Only production touring cars with four seats and three passengers were admitted.
