The Talbot-Lago T26C (TAL-bo) competed in Formula 1 in 1950 and 1951 in the hands of many teams and constructors. Talbot-Lago was a car manufacturer created from the collapse in 1935 of car manufacturing group STD (Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq). The French Talbot company was acquired by Ventian born engineer Antonio Lago. In 1935, the current range of cars was gradually replaced by designs from Walter Becchia as Lago developed the engines as the company grew its wings. The car would be present on the grid during 1950 and 1951 seasons and took podium finishes in the hands of Louis Rosier. __TOC__
