Ferenc Szisz. Ferenc Szisz won the first French Grand Prix in 1906. Szisz won the race in a 13 liter, 90 horsepower Renault. The car was not particularly powerful compared to other cars in the race, but it did have the important advantage of removable tire-carrying rims. The removable rims meant tire changes took a speedy four minutes compared to the regular 15 minutes required with fixed rim tires. Szisz finished a little over a half hour ahead of the second-place car.
