Nevertheless, Brasier retained the premises originally acquired by the Richard-Brasier company in Ivry, then as now just outside the ring formed by the old city walls (today followed by the "Périphérique" motor-way) on the southern edge of central Paris.
That year, a car built by Richard-Brasier equipped with Truffault-Hartford shock absorbers won the Gordon Bennett Cup (auto racing) in Germany, helping to establish a reputation for the new device.
In March 1906, the automobile was advertised in a national trade magazine as "Richard-Brasier" agent and sole importer located at 225-230 West 58th Street in New York City.
The Cup was won by Léon Théry in a Richard-Brasier, and the Gordon Bennett race returned to France for 1905 and 1906, but was not continued as such in 1907, as Grand Prix motor racing evolved.
