“Just another neat run” (Update: new edwardian record for 1905 V8 Darracq)

• 

The fastest ever run by a pre-war car at the VSCC's Prescott Speed Hill Climb (held on August 7-8) was made by James Baxter. Driving his 3500cc 1934 Frazer Nash single seater he made a superb climb up the VSCC course (which omits the Orchard loop) in 40.81 seconds, smashing the previous 1989 pre-war record of 41.11 seconds that was set by Anthony Mayman, driving an ERA R4D. James had already broken the record on his Sunday morning run with a time of 40.92 seconds, but said he was “just going to aim for another neat run” in the afternoon session. Which he did, shaving a further eleven hundreds of a second off his earlier time.
