Driven as he was, Gabriel Voisin could not let matters lie. The 40,000 kilometre record remained in his sights - even the 50,000 kilometre prize.

September 1930 was the date set for the new attempt. Financial constraints dictated that the new car be based on a production model, and he opted for a V12 chassis (code 'Diane') fitted with the factory's 'Chatelaine' coupé coachwork, in the hope that the 4.8 litre power unit would be powerful and durable enough to secure the record.

The selected car was duly modified to the extent of removing the wings and replacing the luggage trunk at the rear by two additional fuel tanks. The standard exhaust system was also replaced by rectangular exhaust stubs protruding from the bonnet sides.

As before, the attempt was fuelled by the 70/30 mixture of petrol and Benzol provided by Gaz de Paris, with the Yacco oil company supplying the necessary lubricant.

On Sunday September 7th 1930, the record team returned to the reinforced concrete banking of the Montlhéry autodrome. There were four drivers: César and Edouard Marchand, Leroy de Presale and Van Doorninck.

The run began in the evening, and the car ran like the proverbial clock for more than 17 days. When the car eventually drew to a halt just after 5 o'clock on the morning of September 25th, every target record had been broken.

Like Yacco, Gabriel Voisin naturally lost no time in publicising this spectacular achievement.
