EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment of triumph and accomplishment at the historic Brooklands motor racing circuit in 1931. The focal point is Leon Cushman, an extraordinary racing driver who has just shattered a speed record with his Austin Seven car. As he stands atop the vehicle, carried aloft by jubilant mechanics and supporters, Cushman's face radiates pure joy and satisfaction. The scene exudes an air of celebration as onlookers gather around to witness this remarkable feat. Bill Brunell, one of Cushman's trusted mechanics, can be seen among the crowd, proud to have played a part in this achievement. Their collaboration showcases the ingenuity and skill that defined British motoring during this era. Brooklands itself serves as a fitting backdrop for such a significant moment in motor racing history. Located in Weybridge, Surrey, it was renowned as Britain's premier racetrack during the early 20th century. This image captures not only Cushman's personal success but also reflects the broader spirit of determination and innovation that characterized motorsport at that time. This photograph from Heritage Images transports us back to an era when speed records were broken through sheer grit and determination rather than advanced technology. It immortalizes Leon Cushman's triumphant moment while paying homage to all those involved in pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence during the 1930s.
