EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the Morris Rally at Lilleshall, where two trailblazing female racing drivers, Kay Petre and E. Wisdom, are seen judging the coachwork competition. Kay Petre, often regarded as one of the best-known female racing drivers before the war, exudes confidence and expertise as she carefully inspects each vehicle. Alongside her is E. Wisdom, another well-known female racing motorist, adding her own discerning eye to the judging process.
The image not only showcases these remarkable women in a male-dominated industry but also provides a glimpse into the competitive world of racing during this era. The determination and passion displayed by Petre and Wisdom serve as an inspiration for future generations of female racers.
As they deliberate over each detail of the coachwork entries, one can sense their dedication to excellence and their commitment to pushing boundaries in a sport traditionally reserved for men. This snapshot from September 26th, 1936, serves as a reminder of the important role that women have played in automotive history and highlights their significant contributions to the world of motorsports.
