EDITORS COMMENTS
A thrilling moment frozen in time, this print captures the intense atmosphere of a close race at Brooklands. The iconic Brooklands track was packed with enthusiastic crowds during the great Easter Monday opening meeting in 1932. Amongst the racing legends present that day was Sir Malcolm Campbell, who took his Bluebird out on the track, leaving spectators awe-inspired. In this particular shot, we witness Mr C Penn Hughes in his Bugatti and Mr E L Bouts in his Sunbeam battling it out neck and neck around the Norfolk lightning short handicap race. The tension is palpable as these skilled drivers push their machines to their limits, vying for victory. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, transporting us back to an era between the wars when motor racing held an undeniable allure. It serves as a reminder of Europe's rich motoring heritage and its enduring fascination with speed and competition. This image is part of TopFoto. co. uk's collection of twentieth-century European photography sourced from Planet News archives. As you admire this snapshot from history, let yourself be transported to a bygone era where roaring engines echoed through grandstands filled with passionate fans.
