EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in England's racing history. Taken before the start of the Royal Automobile Club International Tourist Trophy race, the image provides a general view from the pits at Donington Park Road circuit near Derby. It was September 4,1937, when this significant event took place between the wars. In an era dominated by men, one remarkable woman stood out among the competitors. Mrs A. C Dobson fearlessly tackled the challenging 310-mile course as she became the only female participant in this prestigious race. Her presence symbolizes courage and determination that defied societal norms of her time. The monochrome aesthetics add a timeless quality to this photograph, transporting us back to an era where speed and adrenaline filled these tracks. The image showcases Europeana photography at its finest, capturing not just a thrilling sporting event but also providing glimpses into social dynamics during that period. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for generations to come, this press photograph from Planet News serves as a visual testament to an important milestone in British motorsport history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of racers - both male and female alike.
