EDITORS COMMENTS
Dick Shuttleworth's Alfa Romeo zooms past Raymond Mays' crashed ERA at Donington Park in 1935. In this photograph captured by Bill Brunell, the intense moment of a motor racing incident is frozen in time. The image showcases the contrasting fate of two iconic British racing cars. On the left, we see Mays' ERA, facing the wrong direction after spinning off track. The unfortunate retirement of Mays highlights the risks involved in this thrilling sport. On the right, Shuttleworth's powerful Alfa Romeo charges ahead with determination, demonstrating his skillful driving prowess. Donington Park's picturesque setting in Castle Donington, Leicestershire adds to the allure of this vintage snapshot. The towering trees and lush greenery frame the action-packed scene on this historic motor racing circuit. This photo not only captures a significant moment in motorsport history but also pays tribute to Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth - an accomplished driver and aviation enthusiast who owned English Racing Automobiles Ltd. His passion for speed and innovation shines through as he fearlessly navigates his Alfa Romeo amidst adversity. Preserved by Heritage Images from their extensive collection at National Motor Museum, this monochrome print transports us back to a thrilling era when motor racing was still evolving. It serves as a reminder of both the dangers and triumphs that shaped automotive culture during Britain's vibrant motoring heyday.
