  • Speed Records of many Entries in Light-Car Derby

We found this fun article called Speed Records of Many Entries in Light-Car Derby in the magazine Popular Science Monthly from February 1922. It is not very long, but we hope you enjoy the photograph (click to enlarge) with caption it as much as we did.

“With amazing speed that thrilled the greatest crowd ever in attendance at the Brooklands speedway in England, 72 of the world`s smallest racing-cars recently justified England`s growing interest in the small, economical, yet powerful cycle-car. The photograph shows the little speedsters lined up for the starting-gun of the 200-mile contest.”

I think ths article refers to the first JCC 200 Mile Race on October 22nd 1921. The winner was Henry Segrave at 88.82 mph driving a Talbot-Darracq followed by K. Lee-Guiness and Malcolm Campbell in sister cars. Segrave and Lee-Guiness shared fastest lap at 93.09mph.

The photograph is of the 1921 JCC Race. It was won by Henry .Seagrave driving a Talbot-Darracq at speed of 89 mph.

The cars are front row: G.N(A. Frazer-Nash), A.V. (Empson), Deemster (Phillips), Baby Peugeot (Topping)


Second row: Aston Martin, A.C., Marlborough, A.B.C. Lagonda and Hillman.

The winning car is almost certainly in the group behind
