The regulations remained more or less the same as in 1926 with minor changes reported for the 1927 World Championship. On October 27, 1926, the AIACR & CSI debated at their Paris meetings the regulations and announced for 1927 that the 1.5-liter formula would remain only until the end of 1927 because of the bad experiences made so far, to be relieved with the free formula for 1928. The minimum weight was increased from 600 to 700 kg. The supercharger was allowed and the two-seat body remained for 1927, though single-seat bodied cars would be allowed as long as the body showed a minimum width of 80 cm to be measured at the seat area for a height of not less than 25 cm. The minimum distance for the great international races was now fixed at 600 km.Nov-2 - AIACR & CSI meetings on Oct-27 1926 AUTOMOBIL-REVUE #83 3AIACR Meeting 1926 Allgemeine Automobil-Zeitung (Wien)#20 14 Classification Pos No Driver Car Laps Time/Retire 1 6 France Robert Benoist Delage 15 S 8 48 4h45m41.2 2 12 France Edmond Bourlier Delage 15 S 8 48 4h53m55.6 3 18 France André Morel Delage 15 S 8 48 5h11m31.4 4 10 UK "Williams" France Jules Moriceau Talbot 700 48 5h24m30.0 NC 16 France Louis Wagner Talbot 700 42 Engine NC 2 UK George Eyston Halford 36 +12 laps Ret 4 France Albert Divo Talbot 700 23 Supercharger DNA 8 France André Dubonnet Bugatti 39A Car not competitive DNA 14 Italy 1861 Emilio Materassi Bugatti 39A Car not competitive DNA 20 France Jules Goux Bugatti 39A Car not competitive DNA Czechoslovakia Eliška Junková Bugatti 39A Did not appear DNA Italy 1861 Conelli Bugatti 39A Did not appear DNP France Jules Moriceau Talbot 700 Reserve driver DNP France Robert Senechal Delage 15 S 8 Reserve driver DNP Italy 1861 Caberto Conelli Reserve driver Fastest Lap: Robert Benoist, 5m41.0 (131.96 km/h) Note - Starting grid based on car number order, positions being drawn. 3x3 formation. http://www.teamdan.com/archive/gen/1927.html#acf 1927 Grands Prix 2013-05-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090801130810/http://www.teamdan.com/archive/gen/1927.html#acf 2009-08-01 dead References External links French Grand Prix 1927 1927 Indianapolis 500 1927 Spanish Grand Prix 1926 French Grand Prix 1928 French Grand Prix French Grand Prix Category:French Grand Prix Grand Prix
