EDITORS COMMENTS

Barlow, who skillfully steered his powerful machine to secure an impressive third place in the unlimited class. The atmosphere surrounding this exhilarating race is palpable as crowds gather along the avenue to witness this thrilling display of speed and precision driving. Spectators eagerly line both sides of the road, their eyes fixed on Barlow's roaring vehicle as it speeds towards victory. The vintage car's sleek design and prominent Dunlop tires add to its allure, symbolizing an era when motor racing was still in its infancy.
