  • LOCAL LAND-SPEED RECORD-HOLDING CONNECTIONS Iain Wakeford 2016
    LOCAL LAND-SPEED RECORD-HOLDING CONNECTIONS Iain Wakeford 2016 month ago I wrote a small piece on Britain’s first Motor Grand Prix that A took place in 1926 at Brooklands, following Henry Segrave’s win in the French Grand Prix the previous year. The 1926 race was won by a Frenchman, with Malcolm Campbell coming second, and Henry Segrave having to retire, but the two Brits were to lock horns on many other occasions, not least for the more prestigious title of being the fastest man on land. They were joined in that pursuit by John Godfrey Parry-Thomas, who lived in a bungalow called ‘The Hermitage’ in the middle of the race track at Brooklands. Malcolm Campbell was the first of the three to gain the land-speed title in September 1924 when he drove his Sunbeam across Pendine Sands in South Wales at 146.16mph. The following July he increased the record, becoming the first person to travel at over 150mph, but that record was smashed the following April when Parry Thomas in his car ‘Babs’ crossed the sands at 170mph! Parry Thomas didn’t have the wealth of Segrave or the prestige of Campbell, and in fact ‘Babs’ was adapted from a second-hand car that he had bought from the estate of Count Zbrorowski (of Chitty Bang Bang fame) following his death at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1924. Sadly Malcolm Campbell in his ‘Bluebird’ regained the record from Thomas at Pendine in February 1927, but when Thomas tried to get it back the following month he lost control of Babs and was killed as the car rolled and slid upside-down along the beach at over 100mph.

  • Cosmograph Daytona Rolex Introduces
    BASELWORLD 2016 OYSTER PERPETUAL COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA ROLEX INTRODUCES A CHRONOGRAPH BORN TO RACE The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona embodies a history marked by a passion for speed and motor sport. Created by Rolex in 1963, this model born for racing has established an extraordinary track record in the world of motor sport thanks to its reliability and performance. Known simply as the “Daytona”, the watch has risen to the rank of an icon as one of the best known chronographs in the world. Before lending its name to one of Rolex’s most emblematic models, the city of Daytona Beach in Florida – with its famous long, straight beach, and sand packed as hard as cement – forged its own legend as the capital of land speed records from 1903. The name Daytona also epitomizes the historic ties that bind Rolex and automobile racing, whether in endurance or speed.

  • C70 Grand Prix Series OWNER’S HANDBOOK Time on Your Side
    C70 Grand Prix Series OWNER’S HANDBOOK Time on your side... Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed and engineered by highly talented craftspeople to ensure not only accurate and precise timekeeping but also to bring a real pride of ownership that only luxury items of the highest quality can ever hope to deliver. You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this handbook is to help you make the most of that investment during what I hope will be a lifetime of ownership. Christopher Ward Caring for your Christopher Ward quartz watch Your C70 Grand Prix Chronograph is constructed from the finest components and materials available including one of Switzerland’s finest quartz movements. As with all watches of this quality, with just a little care, it has the potential to become an heirloom piece giving further joy to future generations. Here are a few hints to help keep your watch working perfectly over the years: • Although the battery in your watch may last longer, we recommend you have it changed every 2/3 years by a reputable watch repairer. • At the same time as having the battery changed it makes sense to have the watch repairer clean and lubricate your watch as necessary. • Make sure the crown is screwed down fully before putting the watch into water. Adhere to the water resistance ratings towards the end of the handbook to prevent water getting to the movement which could result in a very costly repair or the need for a replacement movement. • Your watch is shock resistant to minor impacts but dropping from height onto a hard surface may damage the movement.

Environmental issues, electric cars, venue loss, ageing membership are just some of the issues. However as a hobby we have too many self inflicted wounds. The recent consultation on the motorsport use of forests generated 1680 email responses, 633 of which related to Rallying and 982 from motor cycle Enduro and Trials followers. That figure from all those involved in rallying is pathetic! A typical BTRDA rally with 100 entries will have 200 folk in cars, another 200 service and 200 marshals etc.

  • Brooklands Driver and Engine Driver
    Malcolm Reid served his apprenticeship at Vickers Armstrong (Aircraft) Ltd. from ‘55 to ‘60 (latterly, the British Aircraft Corporation). Of course, he is a Brooklands Museum Trust Member and receives its quarterly Bulletin. The following article was published earlier this year and BTM permission to reproduce it in our website is acknowledged and greatly thanked. The BTM recorded its thanks to Andy Nash, Historian of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway Association Heritage Group, for most of the photos. Indirectly, the Westland and Yeovil District Model Engineering Society expresses its appreciation to him also. Brooklands driver and engine driver by Tony Hutchings Surprisingly there seem to be very few photos of John Howey at Brooklands. This is the only one we could find and it shows him in a Leyland (number two, on the left) leading Eldridge in his Fiat in 1924 (Brooklands Society Archive). 'The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch – the World’s Smallest Public Railway – has given pleasure to countless numbers of all ages since the 1920s. The 15-inch gauge line, running 14 miles across Romney Marsh – linking Hythe, Dymchurch, New Romney and Dungeness – has many special attractions. It is, for example, a main-line railway in miniature, largely double-track, with more trains stopping at more stations than almost any other steam line in Britain. And it was largely the creation of a single individual.' One Man’s Railway – J E P Howey and the RH&DR What you may ask has the RH&DR got to do with Brooklands? The answer has everything to do with that ‘single individual’ and his friends who regarded miniature railways with the very same enthusiasm they had for racing powerful cars.

  • The World Land Speed Record
    The World Land Speed Record Task A: Question sheet On 25 September 1924, Malcolm Campbell’s Blue Bird reached an average speed of 146.16 m.p.h. This broke the world land speed record with an actual increase of 0.27 m.p.h. and a percentage increase of 0.19%. On 21 July 1925 Malcolm Campbell increased this by 4.71 m.p.h. – a percentage increase of 3.22%. In 1927 John Godfrey Parry-Thomas, driving Babs, increased the record by 12.68%, which was an actual increase of 19.13 m.p.h. Study the data provided on the information sheet. This shows every world land speed record that has been set since 1898. Find the lowest three actual increases in the record. Find also the lowest three percentage increases. Repeat for the highest three actual and percentage increases. Comment on your results.
