"Francis Richard Henry Penn Curzon: A Racing Enthusiast and Icon of the Track" Step into the thrilling world of Francis Richard Henry Penn Curzon, a name that resonates with speed, power, and an undying passion for racing. From his early days to his illustrious career, Curzon left an indelible mark on the motorsport scene. In 1930, amidst the roaring engines and adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of the Irish Grand Prix in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Curzon found himself surrounded by legendary Mercedes-Benz SSKs owned by Malcolm Campbell and Earl Howe. The sheer spectacle ignited his desire to conquer new horizons. Curzon's love for competition extended beyond Ireland's borders. At MAC Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in Worcestershire during the 1930s, he stood proudly beside a Riley 9 Brooklands - a symbol of his unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries and achieving greatness. The MG Car Club Trial at Waterworks Hill in Tring became another milestone for Viscount Curzon as he showcased his replica MG M Type 12/12. With every twist and turn conquered effortlessly, he proved that true talent knows no bounds. A glimpse into Crystal Palace in London during 1939 revealed an exquisite Lagonda open 4-seater tourer possibly belonging to Earl Howe – a testament to their shared appreciation for elegance combined with raw power. November 1931 witnessed Viscount Curzon fearlessly competing in the Inter-Varsity Trial with his iconic MG M Type 12/12 replica. The trials were not just about victory but also about camaraderie among fellow racers who understood each other's burning desire for triumph. The Brighton Speed Trials of 1938 brought together two formidable forces: Earl Howe behind the wheel of ERA and CK Mortimer piloting Alta. Their determination was palpable as they pushed themselves to reach new heights on the track.
