In this print from the National Motor Museum, we are transported back in time to the exhilarating world of racing at Brooklands on May 28th, 1910. The focal point of this image is the magnificent Straker Squire 18.8 litre car, a true testament to automotive engineering and craftsmanship of its era. As our eyes wander across the frame, we cannot help but be drawn to the sleek lines and powerful presence of this vintage beauty. Its polished exterior gleams under the sunlight, reflecting both its elegance and raw power. This remarkable vehicle stands as a symbol of innovation and speed during a time when motor racing was still in its infancy. Surrounding the Straker Squire are spectators dressed in their finest fashion attire - men donning tailored suits with bowler hats while women showcase their exquisite Edwardian gowns paired with wide-brimmed hats adorned with feathers.

Brooklands itself provides an iconic backdrop for this historic moment captured through lens and preserved over generations.

This print serves as a timeless reminder of an era where racing was not only about competition but also about style, grace, and pushing technological limits.
