This print captures the fearless Mrs Kay Petre as she navigates the treacherous test hill hairpin bend during practice at Brooklands. The year is 1937, a time between the wars when women drivers were just beginning to make their mark in the racing world. This upcoming road racing meeting on the Campbell circuit will be historic, marking the first time that women drivers are taking part. In this monochrome image, Mrs Kay Petre exudes confidence and determination behind the wheel of her sleek racing car. Her skillful maneuvering around the challenging hairpin bend showcases her expertise as a racer. The intensity of her focus is palpable, reflecting both her passion for speed and her desire to break barriers in a male-dominated sport. The photograph's vintage aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era where track races were filled with excitement and anticipation.

This remarkable photograph was captured by Planet News press photographers on July 8th, 1937.
