EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented artist Bill Brunell, showcases the thrilling LCC Relay GP at Brooklands on 26 July 1937. The focus of this image is the remarkable Kay Petres Austin OHC 744 cc racing car, elegantly positioned on the left side of the frame. Its sleek design and powerful engine make it a true classic in British automobile history. Alongside Petres' Austin stands another impressive vehicle - an MG Magnette 1287 cc driven by FA Thatcher. These two iconic cars symbolize the spirit of motor racing during that era, representing speed, skill, and innovation. The photograph perfectly captures a moment of intense competition as these daring drivers navigate through Brooklands' renowned motor racing circuit in Surrey, England. With its monochrome aesthetic adding to its timeless appeal, this image transports us back to a time when motorsport was still in its infancy. Notably, Kay Petre herself was a trailblazer for women in motorsport. Her presence behind the wheel challenges gender norms and inspires future generations of female racers. Displayed proudly at the National Motor Museum today, this vintage print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich automotive heritage and celebrates those who pushed boundaries within this exhilarating sport.
