Galician automobilism
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Gaweł, Robert
In Galicia automobilism developed despite local motorisation since there was access to the achievements of other countries of the Monarchy (Czechia, Upper Austria). Due to the lack of home production, in Galicia the development of automobilism proceeded more slowly and less dynamically. Rides by individual cars were available only for the affluent, which is why they were called “a lordly pastime”. The most recent research shows that in Galicia transportation based on motor omnibus lines became common as it developed in a surprisingly rapid manner. Individual automobilists took part in “automobile trips” (see amateur rallies) organised by Galician automobilists’ associations. Their last journey was the departure to the frontlines of WWI. Those who managed to overcome the hardship of this “trip” returned as the pioneers of Polish automobilism.
