This evocative photograph captures five of the most prominent figures in the motor racing world during the 1929 Five Hundred Miles Race held at the iconic Brooklands circuit. At the top of the image, we see Kaye Don, a skilled driver who took the wheel of a supercharged Sunbeam. Don's intense focus and determination are evident as he prepares for the race. To his right, Earl Howe, an aristocrat and racing enthusiast, sits confidently in his supercharged Lea-Francis. With a cool expression and a well-placed goggles, Howe exudes an air of sophistication and class. In the bottom left corner, we find Captain Malcolm Campbell, a legendary figure in the world of speed. Campbell was not only an accomplished driver but also a sponsor of the race. He is seen here in his usual dapper attire, looking on with a watchful eye. Next to Campbell, R.F. Oats sits in the driver's seat of an O.M. car. With a determined look on his face and his goggles perched on his forehead, Oats appears ready for the challenge of the race. Lastly, we have Captain Woolf Barnato, a successful businessman and a passionate racing driver. Barnato is seen here behind the wheel of a Bentley, a brand that would go on to dominate the racing scene in the coming years. With a steely gaze and a firm grip on the wheel, Barnato looks poised for victory. This photograph captures the spirit of the 1929 Five Hundred Miles Race, an event that brought together some of the most daring and talented drivers of the era. The men in this image are not just drivers, but personalities who embodied the thrill and excitement of motor racing in the 1920s.
