Note: There was no outright winner, with only the winners of the four classes being given official recognition and prize money. However the Mercedes-Benz 220SE driven by Bob Jane and Harry Firth was the only car to complete the full 500-mile distance and it is generally considered to be the "winner" of the race. ==Statistics==
