EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of motor racing at Brooklands. The image captures two iconic MG C types, proudly displaying their entry numbers - 7 and 8 - for the BRDC 500 Mile Race. The Earl of March, also known as Freddie March, takes his position behind the wheel of car number 7. A prominent figure in British aristocracy and a passionate motoring enthusiast, he is ready to conquer the challenging circuit with his powerful machine. Unfortunately, fate had other plans for him as his engine broke down prematurely during the race. Beside him stands Harold Parker, driver of car number 8. With determination etched on his face, he prepares himself for an intense battle on the track. However, luck was not on his side either as a broken cylinder-head forced him into retirement. Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit serves as a majestic backdrop to this snapshot in time - its historic bridge spanning across the track adds an air of grandeur to the scene. This renowned venue has witnessed countless moments of triumph and heartbreak throughout its existence. As we gaze upon this vintage print captured by Bill Brunell WJ (not associated with any company), we are reminded of an era when speed and sport merged seamlessly with elegance and class. It is through such images that we can appreciate both the beauty of classic cars and their enduring legacy in British motorsport history.
