The 13th of May 1950 is
certainly eventful for the amateur of sportscars history, with the
first round of the first driver’s world championship on the
silverstone airport.
The same day, the town of Mons in Belgium organizes "The city of
Mons Auto Grand prix", and one Moto Grand prix one week before.

This website is intirely dedicated to my great friend, Rod
Coleman, Norton's and factory A.J.S rider, the last 500cc Mons Moto
grand prix
winner 1951.( Freddy Beghin)
The
organization of the 1950 had known many financials problems and also
authorization problems of three differents villages, more the traffic
change for the roads from Charleroi to Mons and Chimay to Mons. I think
that the rain of 1951 has definitively killed the organisations futures
in Mons. At this moment, they are eight cafés along the circuit
and this one "La Barrière" has returned to the organizer 7000
Belgium francs of drink tickets gratis. One bier costs at this moment 5 Belgium Francs. (minus of 0,13 €)
