EDITORS COMMENTS
An exhilarating moment frozen in time, this print captures the thrill and excitement of cars racing on Byfleet Banking during the historic BRDC 500 Mile Race at Brooklands. Dated October 3rd, 1931, this image showcases some of the most iconic vehicles and drivers of that era. In the foreground, we see a powerful Talbot 105 with registration number GO54 driven by J. R. Cobb, skillfully maneuvering through the challenging circuit. Just to its left is another Talbot 105 driven by B. E. Lewis, competing fiercely in his Alfa Romeo 2336S cc. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this classic car spectacle as spectators line up along the banking to witness these magnificent machines in action. The bridge overhead provides an elevated vantage point for fans to catch every heart-pounding moment. Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit in Weybridge, Surrey served as the backdrop for this thrilling event that brought together British motoring enthusiasts from all walks of life. The atmosphere was electric as speed demons pushed their vintage cars to their limits on this renowned track. Preserved within this print is not just a snapshot of history but also a testament to human passion and ingenuity in pursuit of automotive excellence. It serves as a reminder that even after decades have passed since that fateful day in October 1931, our fascination with motor racing continues unabated.
