EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph marks a significant milestone in the annals of motor racing history. In the winter of 1931, an MG Midget, a small yet mighty "baby" car, defied expectations and shattered records by achieving a speed of over 100 miles per hour (mph) for an impressive 5 kilometers. This remarkable feat occurred during the International Double 12 Hour Race, the International Irish Grand Prix, and the International Ulster TT, making it an unprecedented achievement in the world of motor sports. The MG Midget, a diminutive vehicle, was not only fast but also agile and nimble, outpacing larger and more powerful competitors. Its victory in these prestigious races created a record unparalleled in the history of motor racing. With a top speed of 103 mph, this MG Midget left its mark on the sport, proving that size was not a determinant of speed or racing prowess. The International Irish Grand Prix and the International Ulster TT were two of the most prestigious motor races in Europe at the time, attracting the best drivers and teams from around the world. The MG Midget's victory in these races not only solidified its place in motor racing history but also boosted the reputation of MG, the British automobile manufacturer, as a force to be reckoned with in the world of high-performance cars. This photograph captures the essence of a moment in time when the impossible became possible, and the MG Midget made history by exceeding the 100 mph barrier, a feat that would continue to inspire and influence motor racing for generations to come.
