In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of racing champions at Brooklands in 1935. The image captures two remarkable women, Mrs Kay Petre and Mrs Gwenda Steart, as they prepare for a speed duel that promises to be nothing short of exhilarating. The intensity on their faces is palpable as they gear up for the challenge ahead. Their determination and passion for racing shine through, defying societal norms of the time. These trailblazing women were pioneers in a male-dominated sport, fearlessly pushing boundaries and proving that gender was no barrier to success. Brooklands, known as the birthplace of British motorsport, provided the perfect backdrop for these fierce competitors to showcase their skills. As they revved their engines on that fateful day in July 1935, spectators held their breaths in anticipation of witnessing history being made. This monochrome photograph not only immortalizes an iconic moment but also serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit possessed by these extraordinary women. It stands as a testament to their courage and resilience during an era marked by social constraints. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk with meticulous care, this piece from between the wars transports us back in time. It encapsulates an era when speed thrills dominated headlines and celebrates those who dared to defy expectations – forever etching themselves into racing history.
