The Germans, whose car was driven by Hans Koeppen, had arrived in Paris four days earlier but had been penalized a total of thirty days for not going through Japan and for shipping the Protos part of the way by railcar. That gave the win to the Americans and driver George Schuster, the only American to travel the full distance from New York to Paris. The winning margin was 26 days, still the largest winning margin in any motorsport event ever.
