In this photo print, taken on 2 May 1936, we witness the thrilling international trophy race at Brooklands. With a record-breaking entry of forty-seven cars competing in the grueling 250-mile event, the atmosphere was electric with anticipation. The organizers implemented a unique handicapping system that added an extra layer of excitement to the race. Five bends of varying intensity were strategically placed along the track for each of the five different classes participating. This ensured that every driver faced their own set of challenges throughout the competition. At the forefront of this exhilarating spectacle is Fred Dixon, skillfully leading from his Riley car. His determination and expertise are evident as he maneuvers through each bend with precision and speed. Hot on his tail is H. W Cook in an E. R. A. , fiercely vying for victory. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time between two world wars when motorsport provided both entertainment and escape from turbulent times. The monochrome composition adds depth to this historic image, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully into an era long gone. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this photograph serves as a testament to human ambition and resilience during challenging times—a reminder that even amidst adversity, passion knows no bounds.
