• Date and length confirmed. Hook has sources without page numbers, need complementing references, and better referencing overall.--Zoupan 19:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

• Fixed - added Google books source for hook, added PDF page number and french text for hook ref, organised refs, and slightly revised hook above. Chienlit (talk) 08:20, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

• Alt1 ... the first woman to compete in an international motor race, Baroness Hélène van Zuylen, used the pseudonym Snail whilst her husband was Escargot?

Slightly shorter hook Chienlit (talk) 14:50, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

• ALT2 ... that Baroness Hélène van Zuylen, was the first woman to compete in an international motor race? or
• ALT3 ... that "Snail", was the first woman to compete in an international motor race?--Zoupan 15:07, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

• ALT2 hook is well referenced. I suggest going with this. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:32, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
