EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the aftermath of a fire-damaged Bugatti T43 during the Irish Grand Prix in Phoenix Park, Dublin, in 1929. The image captures the intense recovery efforts as George Eyston's burnt-out car is being passed by John Field's Bugatti T43, which would also fall victim to flames later on. The center of attention is undoubtedly Eyston's Bugatti Type 43 with its registration number KO5128. Despite its charred appearance, it stands as a testament to both the resilience of these classic cars and the determination of their drivers. Surrounding them are spectators who have gathered to witness this dramatic scene unfold. Amidst the chaos, a marshal can be seen removing debris from the track while another individual rushes forward with a fire extinguisher in hand. Their swift actions highlight not only their commitment to safety but also their dedication to preserving these magnificent machines. This photograph serves as a reminder of an era when motor racing was still in its infancy but already captured hearts worldwide. It showcases both the thrill and danger that accompanied early motorsport events while paying homage to those who risked everything for their passion. Preserved by Heritage Images and belonging to the National Motor Museum collection, this snapshot transports us back in time—allowing us to marvel at an extraordinary moment in automotive history where speed met adversity head-on.
