EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 20th century at Brooklands, England's iconic motor racing circuit. The year is 1913, and the legendary Percy Lambert sits proudly behind the wheel of his Talbot Special 25hp car. This historic moment captures Lambert as he shatters records by covering an astonishing distance of 103 miles in just one hour. The image exudes a sense of celebration and triumph, with onlookers cheering from the sidelines. As Lambert pushes the boundaries of speed and endurance, his determination is palpable through his focused expression. The vintage charm of this photograph transports us to a time when motor sport was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts around the world. Brooklands' significance as a hub for motorsport cannot be overstated, making it the perfect backdrop for such an extraordinary feat. With its rich history and contribution to automotive culture, this photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and technological progress. Preserved by unknown hands over the years, this remarkable piece now finds itself within the National Motor Museum's collection—a fitting tribute to Percy Lambert's record-breaking achievement. Through this image, we are reminded that even in times long past, pioneers like Lambert paved the way for future generations to push beyond limits and reach new heights in their pursuit of speed and excellence.
