Confusingly, before the war and starting in, I think, 1924, there was a European Championship decided on the results in each class (175, 250, 350 and 500) of ONE meeting each year.

Hi Larry,

yes, In confirm that the first European Championship was raced in 1924. It happened at Monza on 6.09.1924. Your legendary Jimmie Simpson won the 350cc race and our legendary Guido Mentasti won the 500cc. race on a _one-gear_ Moto Guzzi machine!.
