EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in black and white, this vintage photograph showcases the MG C type Midget of Hugh Hamilton as he practices for the RAC TT Race at Ards Circuit in Belfast, 1932. The powerful MG C-Type Midget, with its distinctive number 30 emblazoned on its sleek body, was set to make a mark on the racing circuit. However, fate had other plans. During practice sessions leading up to the race, tragedy struck when Hamilton crashed his beloved car. Undeterred by this setback, a substitute driver named F. S. Barnes took over the wheel and carried on with determination. The image transports us back to an era when motor racing was a thrilling spectacle that captivated audiences across Britain and beyond. The streets of Belfast come alive as Hamilton maneuvers through lanes and avenues with skillful precision. This snapshot not only captures the essence of motoring history but also serves as a reminder of the risks involved in pursuing one's passion. Despite being unable to participate due to his crash, Hamilton's spirit lives on through this iconic photograph. Preserved by Bill Brunell and featured in Daily Mail newspaper advertisements of that time period, this print is a testament to both British engineering prowess and human resilience.
