1931 21st Breaker Broke Campbells Career D River Established Eyston Malcolm Midget Record Records Speed Times Virtually


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the daring spirit of Sir Malcolm Campbell's greatest rival, Mr. Eyston, as he boldly breaks the World Land Speed Record for baby cars in his M.G. Midget. The image, taken on March 7, 1931, at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, marks a pivotal moment in the history of automotive racing. Mr. Eyston, a British racing driver, is renowned for establishing more records during his illustrious career than virtually any other driver in history. With a total of 21 records to his name, he is a true legend in the world of racing. One of his most notable achievements was breaking Sir Malcolm Campbell's land speed record three times, the first being in his Thunderbolt car in 1938. In this photograph, Mr. Eyston can be seen confidently seated in the driver's seat of his M.G. Midget, a small, import car that defied the odds and proved that size was not a limiting factor in achieving record-breaking speeds. The M.G. Midget, with its sleek design and powerful engine, was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its driver and the engineering prowess of its creators. The year was 1931, and the 21st century was still a distant dream. Yet, Mr. Eyston and his contemporaries pushed the boundaries of what was possible, shattering records and redefining the limits of human achievement. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when the spirit of competition and the pursuit of speed knew no bounds. As we look back at this historical moment, we are reminded of the enduring allure of automotive racing and the indomitable human spirit that drives us to reach new heights. Mr. Eyston's legacy lives on, inspiring generations of racers and enthusiasts to push the envelope and strive for greatness.
