In this electrifying photograph from the JCC Double Twelve race at Brooklands in 1929, the thrill of motorsport is palpable as W H Rigg and Richard Ince in their Lombard lead the way, with C W Johnstone and A Es Walter in their Studebaker hot on their heels. The crowd, an amalgamation of fashionable spectators and dedicated motorsport enthusiasts, gathers around the edge of the track, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. The atmosphere is electric, the air thick with anticipation and excitement. The roar of the engines, the screech of tires on tarmac, and the relentless pounding of the racers' hearts fill the air as they push their machines to the limit. The fans, dressed in their Sunday best, lean in, their faces a mix of awe and excitement, as they witness the raw power and skill of these early racing legends. The scene at Brooklands on this day in May 1929 was a testament to the enduring allure of motorsport. The JCC Double Twelve was a prestigious event, attracting the best drivers and the most advanced technology of the time. The race was a showcase of speed, skill, and determination, and this photograph captures the essence of that spirit. As W H Rigg and Richard Ince charge ahead, H W Purdy and C Castle in their Alvis give chase, the battle for the lead is far from over. The race is long, and the competition fierce, but the thrill of the chase keeps them pushing forward. The crowd, caught up in the moment, roars its approval, their voices adding to the symphony of sound that surrounds them. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the simple joy of motorsport brought people together in a shared experience of excitement and adventure.
