EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling finish of the Mannin Moar race in Douglas, Isle of Man, in 1935. The Mannin Moar, also known as the "Round-the-Houses" race, was a traditional motor race held on the streets of Douglas, making it one of the oldest motor races in the world. The event gained popularity during the 1930s, attracting a large crowd of spectators from near and far. In this image, a group of determined racers approach the finish line, their cars roaring with power and intensity. The chequered flag, held aloft by two officials, signals the end of the race, marking the moment of triumph for the first-place finisher. The excitement is palpable as the crowd leans in, some cheering and others straining to catch a glimpse of the winning car. The Mannin Moar race was a unique blend of sport and tradition, showcasing the spirit of competition and the love for motor racing on the Isle of Man. The 1930s, with its economic challenges and social changes, made this event even more significant as a source of entertainment and community pride. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of motor racing and the thrill of the finish line.
