The 8, soon nicknamed Petite Rosalie, was launched on the Montlhéry banking. Its average speed was satisfactory, due to its aerodynamic body. Five ACF officials and eight timekeepers kept a close eye on the operations. After some stops, due to the ACF Grand Prix and the Women Grand Prix taking place on the same track, André Citroën waved the checkered flag to stop the Petite Rosalie on July 27TH. The Petite Rosalie had covered 300.000 km in 134 days at an average speed of more than 93 km/h. It had beaten 106 world records and 191 International records.
