Capturing the Essence of Speed and Elegance: British Racing Driver Ruth Urquhart Dykes at Boulogne Motor Week, 1928". In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant racing scene of St. Martin, France in 1928. The image showcases the remarkable talent and determination of British racing driver Ruth Urquhart Dykes as she takes part in the prestigious Boulogne Motor Week. With her sleek racing car glistening under the sun, Mrs. W Urquhart-Dykes exudes confidence as she navigates a bend on a country lane. Her skillful maneuvering is captured by renowned photographer Bill Brunell, who perfectly encapsulates the intensity and excitement of motor sport during this era. Surrounded by lush trees and rustic countryside scenery, this snapshot offers a glimpse into both an exhilarating race day atmosphere and rural life in early 20th century France. As spectators cheer from along the avenue, it becomes evident that motor racing was not only a thrilling sport but also an event that brought people together from all walks of life. This photograph serves as a testament to Ruth Urquhart Dykes' pioneering spirit as one of few female drivers competing against male counterparts. It stands as a reminder that gender barriers were being challenged even in those times. Preserved within the archives of National Motor Museum, this image continues to inspire generations with its timeless portrayal of speed, courage, and elegance on wheels.
