EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the BRDC 500 Mile Race at Brooklands in 1931. The focus of the image is on a striking Amilcar C6, driven by Bill Humphreys, as it sits in the pits. Unfortunately, misfortune struck for Humphreys as he was forced to retire from the race due to a broken stub-axle. As we examine the scene closely, we see a group of men gathered around the car, including mechanic W. J. Brunell and Humphreys himself. Dressed in their classic overalls, they inspect and discuss what went wrong with intense concentration. It is clear that this breakdown has brought disappointment and frustration to all involved. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from motor racing history. The vintage cars lined up in the background further enhance our sense of transport back in time. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when motor racing was still evolving into what it is today. It reminds us of both the excitement and unpredictability that came with early automobile races. Preserved by Heritage Images, this image serves as a testament to those who pushed boundaries and faced challenges on Britain's iconic Brooklands circuit during its heyday - even if luck wasn't always on their side.
