Only 333 pieces are to be manufactured.
――In 1907, the company's engineers developed a racing car in which U-shaped steel was riveted to form the outline of the chassis.
――The 2.4-liter, 4-stroke engine was able to accelerate to almost 90km / h.
――The abbreviation of racing car is FC, and the adoption of young German design engineer Otto Hieronimus brought great luck to the company in this era when the enthusiasm for participating in auto racing was increasing.
--The victory in the long-distance race from St. Petersburg to Moscow and the record in Brooklands, England in 1908 helped Laurin & Clement to solidify their reputation in motorsport with exceptional driving ability. I did.
――But despite their success, Otto Hieronymus found something to improve. Under his resolute direction, FC has improved. This was primarily a more powerful engine installation.
--Instead of the 2.4 liter engine, a truly 5,672 cc 4-stroke water-cooled engine was produced, producing an astonishing 100 hp output at the time.
――As far as we know now, the drive of the rear axle was maintained by the cardan shaft as well as the old type chassis.
――The successor to FC got the name FCR and started in 1909.
—— Due to its extraordinary performance, the car has reached a top speed of nearly 130 km / h. This was considered the top speed at the time.
--In addition to the successful design engineer Otto Hieronymus, there was a second driver, Alexander `Sasha` Korowrat Krakowska, who led the FCR to success.
--Hieronymus, the `Count` and Paul Draskovich have successfully formed a factory team for Laurin & Clement. As an example, we won one gold medal at the Austrian Alpine Rally.
