Motor racing at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Motor racing was contested at the 1900 Summer Olympics. Fourteen events were held in conjunction with 1900 World's Fair. In later years the IOC deemed each event of the 1900 Olympics to be either official or unofficial. Motor racing was regarded as unofficial.

Entries were by manufacturers rather than drivers and competitors' names were not adequately reported at the time. The exceptions are the two classes of the Paris-Toulouse-Paris race, one class of which was won by Louis Renault. Most events had only French competitors but there were some international entries.
