Capturing the Thrill of Speed - Bentley and Sunbeam Racing at Brooklands, 1930
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1930s, we are transported back to an era of exhilarating motor racing. The image showcases two iconic British automobiles, the Bentley Vanden Plas body 1928 and the Sunbeam, as they compete in a thrilling race at a BARC meeting held at Brooklands. The powerful Bentley, with its distinctive black color and registration number YT157, is driven by Major H Butler. Its chassis number ST3020 reveals its pedigree as a true classic car of that time. Alongside it races the elegant blue-hued Sunbeam with entry number 6 under the skilled hands of driver B. O. Davis. Set against the backdrop of Brooklands' famous motor racing circuit in Weybridge, Surrey, this photograph perfectly captures the excitement and speed synonymous with motorsport during this period. The high banking on which these cars navigate adds an extra element of drama to their competition. As vintage enthusiasts or lovers of automotive history gaze upon this remarkable image today, they can appreciate not only the skillful driving but also marvel at how far technology has advanced since then. This snapshot frozen in time serves as a testament to Britain's rich motoring heritage and its contribution to early twentieth-century motor racing.
