EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the annals of motoring history captures the thrilling moment during the 1905 Gordon Bennett Race when French driver Victor Hemery, at the wheel of a powerful Richard-Brasier, skillfully overtakes a Wolseley Beetle driven by C.S. Rolls representing the British team. The scene unfolds on a dusty, winding road, as Hemery's car, billowing smoke from its exhaust, pushes past the Wolseley, its driver looking on in awe. The Gordon Bennett Race, held annually from 1900 to 1939, was considered one of the most prestigious international automobile competitions of its time. Hemery's victory in this event marked a significant triumph for France, adding to the country's growing reputation in the realm of motor racing. The rich history of this iconic image transports us back to an era of speed, competition, and innovation, offering a glimpse into the early days of the automobile industry.
