The Talbot-Lago T26C was a single-seater racing car designed and developed by French manufacturer Talbot-Lago. It featured a box section chassis, an unsupercharged 4,483 cc (273.6 cu in) capacity 93 mm × 110 mm (3.66 in × 4.33 in) straight-six engine and a four speed Wilson preselector gearbox.[3] The chassis and gearbox were derived from the company's 1930s racing cars and were similar to those used on their post-war road cars.[3] For the 1950 Formula One season a version with a more powerful engine was introduced, with revised carburation and twin spark plugs. These variants are known as T26C-DA (for Double Allume, i.e. twin plug).[3]
Racing history
The T26C made its racing debut in the 1948 Monaco Grand Prix, finishing second in the hands of Louis Chiron.[3] Grand Prix victories were achieved the following year with Louis Rosier winning the 1949 Belgian Grand Prix[4] and Louis Chiron winning the 1949 French Grand Prix.[5]
A modified version, the T26C-GS (for Grand Sport), fitted with two-seater bodywork, cycle wings and lights, won the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans driven by Louis Rosier and Jean-Louis Rosier.[3]
Doug Whiteford won the 1952 and 1953 Australian Grand Prix driving a Talbot-Lago T26C.
