The Great Race of 1908 and the Not-So-Great Horsey Horseless


Listen Later

In 1908, six cars set out on a race around the world, from New York City to Paris. They started in winter, at a time before cars even had windshields. Find out what happened and who won the Great Race in this episode of Weird Historian. You’ll also hear about a vehicle that came before these daring race cars — one that was designed to be friendly to passing horses. And not much more. It was called the Horsey Horseless.
