1910 Russo-Balt C24/30 Gall

In 1910, a big city-to-city reliability run was held in Russia along the route  St. Petersburg – Kiev – Moscow – St. Petersburg. The run known as Probeg na Priz Imperatora Nikolaya II (Emperor Nicholas II Prize Run) had 10 stages and lasted from 16 to 30 June. Forty six cars started the run, and 32 finished, 19 of them without penalty points. The winner was Willy Poege in Benz, who collected no penalties and set the best time in speed trials.

Among the starters there were two Russo-Balt C24/30 double phaeton cars equipped with a 4-cylinder engine with a power of 30 hp. The Russo-Balts were driven by Andrey Nagel (No. 25) and Nikolay Gall (No.28). Nagel completed the run without penalty points, and Gall retired after Moscow.
