In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic Royal Automobile Club International Tourist Trophy race held in England on September 4th, 1937. The image captures the thrilling moment when M. Mongin skillfully drives a French Delahaye, taking the lead ahead of A. E. F Fane's Frazer Nash. Behind them is J. D Barnes, also driving a French Delahaye. The Donington Park Road circuit near Derby served as the backdrop for this momentous event, marking its first occurrence in English history. Amongst all the participants who embarked on the challenging 310-mile course that day, it was Mrs. A. C Dobson who stood out as the only woman daring enough to partake in this exhilarating race. This monochrome photograph not only freezes time but also encapsulates an era between two world wars when automobile races were at their peak popularity.
