Who Will Be the First to Reach Two Miles a Minute? The Thrilling Quest for Speed by Motorist Resta at Brooklands, October 1908 This illustration showcases the daring motorist Resta, as he covers a breathtaking half-mile distance at Brooklands in an astonishing 17.372 seconds, equivalent to an awe-inspiring speed of 103.615 miles per hour. The question of who would be the first motorist to reach the seemingly impossible speed of two miles a minute with an internal combustion engine was growing increasingly closer to a solution during the early 1900s. The year was 1908, and the automotive world was abuzz with excitement and anticipation. Resta, a skilled and daring driver, was determined to make history by pushing the limits of what was thought possible with an internal combustion engine. The 31st of October marked a pivotal moment in the annals of automotive history as Resta took to the Brooklands track, a renowned racing venue in England, to attempt to break the two-mile-per-minute barrier. The image of Resta, with the wind whipping through his hair and the roar of the engine echoing in the background, encapsulates the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the early days of the automobile industry. As the world watched with bated breath, Resta's daring exploit served as a testament to the relentless pursuit of speed and progress, bringing the seemingly unreachable two miles a minute within grasp. This historical illustration, depicting a pivotal moment in the annals of automotive history, is a reminder of the thrilling quest for speed and the indomitable human spirit that drives us to push the boundaries of what is possible.
