The Last Lap ???
© Vince Hawthorn (view gallery)
This shot is not in fact in the Brooklands Museum but opposite the entrance to the local Tesco and M&S but what it does show is a section of the banked race track from the hey-day of Brooklands Racing Circuit. As you can see , nature is slowly taking over but the high banking can be seen and the thought of those early racers going past at nearly a ton in those cars with none of the safety built in like todays cars. I believe quite a few came to grief and went over the top.

Bentley Continental GT Driving by the Old Brooklands Banking
© Alan Whitehead (view gallery)
I thought it very fortunate that a Bentley sports car should be driving by as I was photographing the very spot on the Brooklands motor racing circuit where their histories were so intertwined. This was the first purpose built motor racing track in the world, which opened in 1907. Bentley Motors began producing cars in 1919 and spent much time developing and racing them here. There are a number of famous paintings and photos, mostly of Sir Tim Birkin, pounding round this bend in the famous Supercharged (Blower) Bentley, with one or more wheels off the ground, on his way to the track record of approx 134 mph.
