If that's #1 it was Selwyn Edge (1902 winner but only 5th in 1903, subsequently disqualified for a push-start) - https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/1903_Gordon_Bennett_Cup , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1903_Gordon_Bennett_Cup . Team-mate #5 (Charles Jarrott, retired) then and now 1903 Pathe footage - also has #5
