ABOUT CHARLES JARROTT 1877-1944

Born in 1877 he entered his first serious motor race, the Berlin-Paris of 1901, piloting a dark green Panhard into 10th place. Combined with his second place in the following years Circuit du Nord, he then won in great style, the Circuit des Ardennes, against such notable opponents as Camille Jenatzy, Fernard Gabriel and Count Eliot Zborowski, Father of Louis who was most notably associated with Chitty Bang Bang.
