EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on 22 October 1938, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the International Grand Prix at Donington Park in Derby, Leicestershire. With the Germans as strong favourites, anticipation fills the air as drivers prepare for the grueling 250-mile race. The focus of this image is HP Muller from Auto Union, a renowned German racing team. As he readies himself for the challenge ahead, Muller can be seen putting on his steering wheel with utmost concentration and determination. His face reflects both excitement and nerves as he prepares to push himself and his car to their limits. This monochrome snapshot captures a significant moment in European motorsport history between two devastating world wars. The intensity of competition is palpable through every detail - from Muller's focused expression to the sleek design of his vehicle. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this remarkable press photography offers us a glimpse into an era when motor racing was not only about speed but also represented national pride and rivalry. It serves as a reminder of how sports can transcend borders and unite people in shared passion. As we admire this timeless image, let us appreciate the courage and skill displayed by these early pioneers of motorsport who risked everything for their love of speed and competition.
