Outside the racing community, the Paris-Madrid had kindled all the excitement the organizers had hoped for and then some. The day before the start, The New York Times reported:

All the Americans are leaving Paris to-day en route for some point of vantage whence they can view the great Paris-Madrid automobile race, which starts from Versailles tomorrow, and every Parisian possessor of the humblest automobile, or the still humbler bicycle, will do likewise. It is estimated there will be an exodus of at least 100,000 people. The weather is magnificent. Every town in the neighborhood of Paris on the route of the race is already crammed to the last stretch of its accommodation. No such great motoring event has happened so far in the history of Paris.4
