The image showcases Rolls behind the wheel of his Wolseley, navigating the challenging course on the Isle of Man with skill and determination. This historic moment from early 20th century England exemplifies the passion and innovation driving the world of automobile racing at that time. As one of Britain's pioneering automotive enthusiasts, C S Rolls was a key figure in pushing the boundaries of speed and performance. His participation in events like the Gordon Bennett Cup highlighted his commitment to excellence and his willingness to push himself to new limits.
