EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1904, witnessing a historic moment on the Isle of Man. The image captures the exhilarating atmosphere of the first ever car race on the island, known as the Gordon Bennett Qualifying Trials. At its center is Selwyn F Edge, a renowned figure in early motorsport history, confidently maneuvering his powerful 13.7 litre Napier around "The Bungalow" section of the challenging course. His determination and skill are palpable as he pushes both himself and his machine to their limits. Julian Orde, Secretary of the Automobile Club (later becoming the Royal Automobile Club), played a crucial role in bringing this groundbreaking event to fruition. Seeking an ideal venue for trials, he found it in Isle of Man's open roads and picturesque landscapes that provided an unparalleled setting for motor racing. Spanning an impressive length of 52.15 miles, this demanding circuit tested every aspect of a driver's abilities - from sharp turns to long straights - truly pushing them to their absolute best. This remarkable photograph not only captures a significant milestone in automotive history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and passion for speed. It reminds us how far we have come since those pioneering days while honoring those who paved our way into modern motorsports culture.
