1933 Brooklands Campbell Junior Malcolm Nineteen Sunbeam Trophy
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the archives, Malcolm Campbell (1885-1948) takes the lead in his Sunbeam during the Junior Car Club International Trophy race at Brooklands in 1933. Campbell, a British racing driver and automobile record-breaker, was a dominant figure in the motor racing scene of the 1930s. His Sunbeam, a sleek and powerful machine, was one of the most advanced and fastest cars of its time. The Junior Car Club International Trophy race was a prestigious event in the motor racing calendar, attracting the best drivers and cars from across Europe. Held at the famous Brooklands circuit in Surrey, England, the race was a test of speed, skill, and endurance. Campbell's Sunbeam, with its streamlined body and powerful engine, was a force to be reckoned with on the track. In this photograph, Campbell can be seen intently focusing on the road ahead, his expression a mixture of determination and concentration. The Sunbeam, with its distinctive blue and white livery, cuts through the air with ease, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The 1930s were a golden age for motor racing, and this photograph captures the excitement and glamour of the sport in an era when technology and innovation were pushing the boundaries of what was possible. With its dynamic composition and evocative subject matter, this photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of motor racing and the iconic figures who made it great. This photograph is from the Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, part of the Mary Evans Picture Library. It offers a unique insight into the world of motor racing in the 1930s and the legendary Malcolm Campbell and his Sunbeam.
