EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motor racing in 1931. The image captures two Talbot 105s, driven by John Cobb and Tim Rose-Richards, at the iconic BRDC 500 Mile Race held at Brooklands. The powerful Talbot 105s with their impressive 2970 cc engines stand proudly on the starting grid, ready to conquer the challenging circuit. Regrettably, both drivers faced tough competition during the race but demonstrated exceptional skill behind the wheel. John Cobb's Talbot, adorned with registration number GO54 and marked as car number 39, finished an admirable sixth place with an average speed of 104.70 mph. Meanwhile, Tim Rose-Richards piloted his own Talbot (registration number GO53) marked as car number 38 to a commendable seventh-place finish. This historic moment showcases not only the prowess of these talented British drivers but also highlights the enduring allure of classic cars from this era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph captured by renowned photographer Bill Brunell. As we gaze upon this vintage snapshot from one of Britain's most beloved motor racing circuits - Brooklands - we can't help but be captivated by the excitement and nostalgia it evokes. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when speed and skill merged on dusty tracks like Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey.
