HISTORY

The Lorraine-Dietrich B3-6 is a car that participated at the 24 Hours of Le Mans of 1925. The Franco-German manufacturer showed up again with the car designed by Marius Barbarou in Luneville, after rising on the two lower steps of the podium the year before behind the Bentley 3 Liter. For this third edition there were more registrations of non-French cars, but above all the departure procedure was changed with the drivers who had to run on foot and get on the car from the opposite side of the boxes.

The French Gerard De Courcelles team with Gerard De Courcelles and Andre Rossignol at the wheel of the Lorraine-Dietrich B3-6 n.5 winner the 24 hours of Le Mans 1925, for the Franco-German manufacturer was the first success.
The race was initially dominated by Bentley, but it was forced to retire, favoring the Lorraine, which on arrival were separated only by the second place of the Sunbeam Sport Le Mans n.16 driven by Chassagne and Davis with a gap of four laps, while in third place the Lorraine Dietrich n.4 of Henri Stalter and Edouard Brisson with a gap of five laps.
