In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorsports in the 1930s. The image captures Mrs Kay Petre and Raymond Kays after their daring attempts on the famous Hill Climb, which took place on 29 September 1935. Both individuals exude a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration as they stand beside their respective vehicles. Mrs Kay Petre, a trailblazing female racing driver of her time, is seen wearing a determined expression that reflects her passion for speed and competition. Her disheveled hair and dirt-streaked face serve as testament to the intense physical demands she faced during her climb up the treacherous hill. Raymond Kays, too, displays an undeniable sense of accomplishment after his own attempt on this renowned course. His posture suggests pride mixed with relief at having conquered such a formidable challenge. This photograph not only encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined motorsports between the wars but also serves as a poignant reminder of women's growing presence in traditionally male-dominated fields during this era. It stands as a tribute to these two brave individuals who fearlessly pushed boundaries and defied societal norms. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this monochrome gem from Europeana Photography offers us an intimate glimpse into history - one filled with courage, determination, and timeless excitement.
