EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British motor racing history. Taken at the J. C. C. 200 Mile Race held at Brooklands on September 25th, 1926, the image showcases the Talbot-Darracq driven by the legendary Henry Segrave, known as H. O. D. Segrave was a major figure in motorsport during this era and his presence adds an air of excitement to the scene. The photograph also features another significant incident - a crashed Alvis 1496 cc car driven by Cyril Maurice Harvey, identified as Entry No: 2. This unexpected turn of events serves as a reminder of the risks involved in this exhilarating sport. Bill Brunell's artistic eye beautifully captures both the action on the track and the spectators eagerly watching from behind telegraph poles. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this classic car race scene. As we delve into this snapshot from Britain's motoring past, it becomes clear that motor racing was not just about speed and competition; it was also about camaraderie and shared passion for automobiles. This image transports us back to an era when driving was more than just transportation - it represented freedom, adventure, and pushing boundaries. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an exciting chapter of British history where men like Sir Henry O'Neil de Hane Segrave left their mark on both motorsport and national pride.
