EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Thrill of Speed: Cars Racing through the Chicane at JCC Members Day, Brooklands, 8 July 1939". This print by artist Bill Brunell takes us back to a momentous day in British motor racing history. The image showcases two iconic vehicles hurtling through the chicane at Brooklands, one of England's most renowned motor racing circuits. In the foreground, we witness the powerful Atalanta 1939 with its impressive 4279 cc engine (Reg. No. KMG957), driven by none other than Miss Midge Wilby. Her determination and skill behind the wheel are evident as she fearlessly navigates this challenging section of the track. Meanwhile, in the background, an elegant Alfa Romeo 2600S (Reg. No. AMO999) driven by G. Bagratouni adds to the excitement of this high-speed race. The atmosphere is electric as these vintage cars showcase their prowess on a sunny summer day in Surrey. Spectators cheer from every corner while witnessing these beautiful machines push their limits. This photograph not only captures a thrilling moment in motorsport but also highlights women's involvement in racing during an era when it was predominantly male-dominated. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now relish this snapshot from our rich automotive heritage and appreciate how far we've come since that exhilarating JCC Members Day on July 8th, 1939.
