EDITORS COMMENTS
Minerva and Straker-Squire cars take the spotlight at the exhilarating RAC Isle of Man TT race on 10 June 1914. This photo print, captured by talented artist Bill Brunell, transports us back to a thrilling era in automobile history. In the foreground, we see the powerful Minerva car with its robust 3308 cc engine, driven by Christian Riecken. With incredible skill and determination, Riecken steered his way to an impressive second-place finish in this prestigious race. A mechanic can be seen diligently working on the rear wheel of this magnificent machine, ensuring it remains in top-notch condition. At the center of attention stands another formidable contender - the Straker-Squire car boasting a 3260 cc engine. Behind its wheel is driver R. S. Witchell who fearlessly navigated through challenging terrains during this intense competition. The backdrop showcases the picturesque beauty of Isle of Man as spectators eagerly gather along avenues and lanes to witness these remarkable vehicles in action. The excitement is palpable as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate their shared passion for motor racing. This vintage photograph not only captures a momentous event but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in pushing boundaries within the world of motorsport. It reminds us that even over a century ago, these iconic cars were already leaving their mark on history.
