Brooke behind the wheel of his powerful MG Riley as he navigates the treacherous Crystal Palace road racing circuit. With intense concentration etched on his face, Mr. Brooke pushes his car to its limits, hurtling towards a familiar spot on the track's banking. Astonishingly, history repeats itself as he once again collides with the same section that had proven troublesome before. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from between the wars, allowing us to appreciate both the elegance of Mr. Brooke's vintage vehicle and the raw excitement of early motorsport.
