Le Mans Career
In 1924 Marius, who was the test driver for Amilcare, made his Le Mans debut but did not finish.

In 1925 he drove for the second time but Marius died almost instantly when a front brake locked on his 1100 cc Amilcar CGSS Grand Sport and pitched him off the road at Mulsanne on his 18th lap.
