Prime journalière de distance parcouru
For the longest total distance flown on each day. Only complete laps were counted.

This list has been assembled from several different sources and cross-checked to ensure that the results are as correct as possible. In several cases the published distances were incorrect and inconsistent, for example by not representing full laps or by not adding up to match total standings.

Prize money: On each day 3,000 francs were shared between the pilots, based on the number of laps flown by each pilot. Depending on the total distance flown on a particular day a lap would thus have been paid between approximately 12 and 43 francs.

The list of the totals of the daily distance prizes below is based on a list published by "L'Auto". The sums for Morane and Cattaneo were mixed up and have been corrected. The total adds up to more than 24,000 francs, and for some pilots the sums differ considerably from those calculated according to the distribution described above, but it is the best information available. The amounts are obviously rounded, but it might have been done by the organizers.
