EDITORS COMMENTS
Cars revving up for the adrenaline-fueled start of a BARC race at Brooklands, 1930. This print by renowned artist Bill Brunell captures the essence of early 20th-century automobile racing in Britain. The Bugatti Type 37, with its striking blue color and registration number XV1673, takes position as Entry No: 2, driven by the skilled P. B. Rogers. Alongside it stands the powerful Vauxhall 30-98, boasting a robust chassis number OE207 and registration number NM6006. Behind its wheel is driver R. J. Munday. The image transports us back to an era when motor sport was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts and minds across England. Spectators eagerly gather around the starting line at Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit in Surrey, their eyes fixed on these magnificent vintage cars that epitomize speed and elegance. As anticipation fills the air, drivers prepare themselves for an exhilarating battle against time and fellow competitors. The crowd watches intently from their vantage point in awe of these daring racers who push both machine and human limits to achieve victory. This remarkable photograph not only showcases the beauty of classic automobiles but also immortalizes a moment frozen in time – a testament to our enduring fascination with speed, competition, and the thrill of motor racing.
