Using the same modus operandi, the ACF stewards took a Simca Aronde (serial no. 538.080) on March 20, 1957, an Elysée 1300 in dark green. This car was immediately entrusted to the driver Michel Gauthier and his team, who were to run non-stop from April 09 to May 16 1957 (14 hours), a total of 38 days during which 40,722 laps of the Montlhéry oval were completed.
