EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1929, we see Kittu Brunell engrossed in watching a Donnet vehicle competing in the Sunbeam Motor Car Club Bognor Trial. The image takes us back to a bygone era of classic cars and motorsport excitement. The scene is set on a rustic avenue, surrounded by lush countryside and towering trees. As spectators line the road, Kitty stands out amongst the crowd with her unmistakable presence. A trailblazer ahead of her time, she defies gender norms as a female rally driver in an overwhelmingly male-dominated sport. With her eyes fixed on the action unfolding before her, Kitty exudes passion and determination. Her love for motoring shines through as she witnesses the power and elegance of the French-made Donnet car maneuvering through the forest terrain. This snapshot captures not only a moment in history but also celebrates women's contribution to early 20th-century motorsport. It serves as a reminder that even during times when societal expectations limited opportunities for women, there were trailblazers like Kitty Brunell who fearlessly pursued their passions. Preserved within this vintage photograph lies an inspiring story of resilience and breaking barriers. It reminds us that true passion knows no boundaries or limitations – it transcends time and continues to inspire generations today.
