The Paris – Bordeaux – Paris race of June 1895 has sometimes been erroneously described as the " first motor race ", despite the 1894 event being decided by speed and finishing order of the eligible racers.

The tours generally had fewer Tests in the 1880s and 1890s than people have grown accustomed to in more recent years, the first five-Test series taking place only in 1894 – 95.

The 1894 – 95 series began in sensational fashion when England won the First Test at Sydney by just 10 runs having followed on.

It was the first time since 1894 – 95 that a team following on had won a Test match.

It has been compared with the great series of the distant past, such as 1894 – 95 and 1902.
