The 1906 French Grand Prix, was held on 26 and 27 June 1906, on closed public roads outside the city of Le Mans as an alternative to the Gordon Bennett races which limited each competing country's number of entries. In an attempt to better reflect the status of the French auto industry, the Grand Prix had no limit to the number of entries by any particular country. The ACF chose a 103.18-kilometre (64.11 mi) circuit, composed primarily of dust roads sealed with tar, which would be lapped six times on both days by each competitor, a combined race distance of 1,238.16 kilometres (769.36 mi), lasting for more than 12 hours overall.

Ferenc Szisz driving for the Renault team was the winner
