Fuel for a 1907 motoring race travelled by camel

The 1907 Peking-to-Paris race relied on fuel stations arranged along its route. Camels carried supplies ahead, helping the cars cross immense distances. The winning car reached Paris on 10 August.

The motoring adventure depended partly on another form of transport.
