EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when Frederick Gordon Crosby, a daring British driver, broke the speed record at the newly opened Brooklands racing track in Surrey, UK, in 1907. The scene is set against the backdrop of the night, with the track bathed in the soft glow of lamplight. At the wheel of a powerful Napier car, Crosby maintains an impressive speed of 60 miles per hour for an uninterrupted 24 hours, shattering the previous endurance record. The Napier car, a marvel of early motoring technology, roars along the freshly paved track, its headlights piercing the darkness as Crosby pushes it to its limits. The new Brooklands track, the first purpose-built racing circuit in the world, had only recently opened, attracting motor enthusiasts and thrill-seekers from across the country. Crosby's record-breaking feat added to the excitement and prestige of the venue, cementing its place in motoring history. Frederick Gordon Crosby, a freelance journalist and racing driver, was no stranger to the world of speed. His daring exploits behind the wheel had earned him a reputation as a fearless competitor, and this record-breaking run at Brooklands was just one of many achievements in his impressive career. The photograph captures a moment of triumph and determination, as Crosby pushes himself and his machine to their absolute limits, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of motoring history.
