* Several sources claim Zuccarelli's entry to have carried the numerical designation #15. Photographs taken of entries qualified for the 1913 race, however, exhibit #45 prominently displayed on the Peugeot's front-facing engine grill.
- † De Palma is usually shown as American, but his application for a US passport (available at [1]) reveals that he did not become a US citizen until 1920
