EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment when Hector Dobbs races his Riley offset-bodied single-seater at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England, back in 1935. The vintage car, with its classic design and powerful 1458 cc engine, showcases the beauty of early 20th-century automobile craftsmanship. Driven by the skilled racing driver H. G. Dobbs, this remarkable vehicle proved to be a force to be reckoned with during the event. With Event Entry No: 36 proudly displayed on its bodywork, it went on to claim victory in not just one but three races that day. The determination and skill exhibited by both driver and machine are evident as they conquer each bend of the circuit with precision. The backdrop of Castle Donington adds a touch of British charm to this image. Lush trees and plants frame the racing action while emphasizing the speed and excitement that motorsport brings. This snapshot from history transports us back to an era where motor racing was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts around the world. Preserved for posterity by photographer Bill Brunell, this monochrome photograph is a testament to both his artistry behind the lens and his passion for documenting moments of triumph on racetracks across Britain. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of automotive technology while celebrating our enduring fascination with speed, competition, and timeless design.
