  • Mystery Delage team photo. (Upd. Brooklands 1927)

Carrick Watson uploaded this fine Delage GP team photo: It's from the H.C.Niven  collection that was on the wall of the Repair Shop on Nithsdale Road in Glasgow. Easy to see they are Delage, but where is the photo taken?  And where. Edmond Bourlier and Robert Benoist are two of them, but who is the third man?  Possibly the buildings look like barracks at an airfield. And finally what are your thoughts about the non-profiled tyres on the left car (click photo for enlargement). Racing slicks!? (also note the tyre thrown over the top of  light(?) mast of the first building)

A number of the early pictures of racing Austin Sevens on Austin Harris website -

show slick tyres used on pre war cars. Must have been quite a challenge to drive them.

This picture is from the the 1927 British GP at Brooklands. They've only identified Benoist and Bourlier too, but I think the third man might be André Morel, who was a reserve driver at that race.

This was taken at Brooklands during practice for the British Grand Prix, Saturday October 1st 1927. The three drivers are Bourlier, Benoist and Divo. Benoist was first, Bourlier second and Divo third.
Chiron's Bugatti was seven laps behind and Materassi's Bug another lap in arrears. The photo is from the VSCC archives.
