EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and thrilling illustration by Roland Davies captures the essence of the RAC Tourist Trophy Race held on the Ards Circuit in Ulster on September 13, 1933. The image showcases an exhilarating moment during the race as a bold red Italian Alfa Romeo, with the distinctive triangular emblem on its grille, relentlessly gains ground on a stalwart British racing green M.G. With thirty entries in the race, each driver had to complete thirty laps of the treacherous Ards circuit. The circuit, known for its high speeds and sharp turns, was described as a 'hair-raising drive.' To prevent damage to the houses along the route, they were sandbagged to protect them from the racing cars. In this illustration, we see the Alfa Romeo's superior power and agility as it closes the gap between it and the M.G. This historical image is a testament to the fierce competition and international spirit of motorsports in the 1930s. The RAC Tourist Trophy Race on the Ards Circuit in Ulster in 1933 remains an important chapter in the annals of motor racing history.
