WJ Watson's Vauxhall - A Glimpse into the Thrilling Isle of Man TT Race, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the exhilarating world of early 20th-century motor racing. The image captures WJ Watson's Vauxhall, a powerful 3308 cc classic car, at the RAC Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) race on June 10th, 1914. Renowned artist Bill Brunell skillfully portrays this historic moment in British motorsport history. The scene depicts Watson's Vauxhall possibly undergoing weighing-in procedures before the race. This attention to detail showcases Brunell's ability to capture not only the action but also the behind-the-scenes preparations that went into these high-stakes races. Unfortunately for Watson and his co-driver, their hopes were dashed as they retired from the race due to a broken crankshaft. However, this setback does not diminish the significance of their participation in such a prestigious event on the iconic Isle of Man circuit. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to an era where motoring was still considered a daring adventure. The narrow avenue lined with spectators eagerly awaiting their favorite drivers adds depth and atmosphere to this snapshot frozen in time. The photograph serves as a testament to both Watson's determination as a racing driver and Brunell's artistic prowess in capturing moments that would become part of automotive history.
