The flag drops and we are underway. Louis Chiron, the favourite to win the race leads the pack.

Luigi Fagioli suffers a radiator failure on lap 6.

Jack Glockner breaks his magneto on lap 9.

John Foss crashes on lap 31, but is thrown clear of the wreckage.

Pat Elway-Derrick gets a transmission failure on lap 34.

Thomas Lanford has an oil leak on lap 38, causing 2 cars to spin out over the next 2 laps.
