HERE is for me, and I feel I can speak with confidence for all those Tconcerned with its organization, a special pleasure in introducing to-day's event—the second international long-distance race at Good­ wood.

Almost a year ago to the day the first Nine-Hour Race was the out­ standing topic of conversation wherever motor racing was discussed. Then it was regarded as an experiment—the first long-distance race at Goodwood, and the first time ever in England that cars had raced during Who better to ask about brakes than the hours of darkness under their own headlights. The race turned out John Cooper—co-designer with his; father of the famous Cooper cars,: to be a really grand spectacle and full of incident. This success could Holder of the International Class J; not have been accomplished without the enthusiastic co-operation of (350 c.c.) records, FormulaThree winner of the 1951 Monza Grand Prix, the '52 the drivers who took part, the car manufacturers, the pit crews, the Rouen G.P. and winner at the Glcnzlan- accessory firms, the public and the Press.

Although it is but the second Tof what we hope will be a long series, the race made its immediate mark on motor racing history when, on 16th August, 1952, thousands watched car racing after dark for the first time in England. This first successful experiment was greatly assisted by the generosity of Major W. Emsley Carr, Chairman and Managing Director of the News of the World, who awarded all the handsome cash prizes and gave the event much other support. The B.A.R.C., which has been associated with the Goodwood circuit since motor racing was first staged here in September 1948, is well known for the popular pro­ grammes of short-distance races now featured twice a year. These meetings have continued to prove unfailingly attractive, and will of course be continued. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the Club has as parents the Junior Car Club and the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club and long-distance events are in our blood. Hence the introduction of this new race. Busy Season The B.A.R.C. is having an exceptionally busy season, and there is still the big September International Race Meeting on 26th September to look forward to. Earlier this year, at the invitation of the London County Council, we organized their opening meeting on the modified Crystal Palace circuit; and, looking ahead to 1954, there seems every possibility that the B.A.R.C. will be organizing motor racing at Aintree next year. A comparatively small proportion of the crowd to-day perhaps realizes the enormous amount of organization that goes to make for the smooth running of a full-scale international long-distance race. The fact that the event is continued in the dark brings its own special problems into focus. The need to keep spectators informed HIGHER MiLEAGE Avon's thickerand of the progress of the drivers over a total period of nine hours for example, requires deeper tread gives relays of officials and duplication of equipment on a scale greatly in excess of what many thousandsof extra miles. is required for a normal afternoon's programme of motor sport. There are five scoreboards in operation—one each in the Paddock, at Madgwick kicker miltay Corner, at St. Mary's, on Lavant Straight, and at Woodcote Corner. Each will be continuously manned in order to give lap by lap positions of the leaders throughout. isttKiAL/ryf They are controlled from a central point, and will be illuminated after dark. Public Announcements The verdict of the thousands of motorists who have already fitted AVON H.M. tyres is unanimous—they have proved and acclaimed Broadcasting operations are greatly expanded, and announcers will keep spectators interested from three points of vantage—the Paddock tower, the pits, and St. Mary's.

Ltd., Melksham, Wilts. Flag signalling along the circuit, quite easy in daylight with the international colour coding, has had to be translated into terms of light for the final two-and-a-half hours of the struggle—the most exciting time for the spectators, and a time of highest tension for the drivers and their pit managers. BETTER BRAKING Miles of electric wiring and hours of testing are necessary before the great day Centre traction bars and multiple arrives, indeed before the preceding Thursday, for on the evening of that day the slots give extra competitors have their first practice run, and conditions then must be as perfect as stopping power. on race day. 4VOIf One of the principal attractions about to-day's race is that the sports cars taking part are closely related to, if not identical with, the productions available to any purchaser. Even the fuel they consume is the same as can be bought from any roadside filling station. The winning car and the runners-up prove their worth beyond all argument in a Recent Aston Martin successes on Avon tyres race such as this, and with their drivers deserve the full acclamation of all who know include Florida Grand Prix • the meaning of courage, skill and endurance. 15 and Silverstone Daily Express 100-mile Sports Car Race The Spark of Victory in the Aston Martin

He raced an Aston Martin in the 1952 Nine- Following Le Mans and Hour Race, and that year came third at Jersey. His long experience includes racing on ice in Sweden; and as partner with John Heath in H.W. Motors he has earned great prestige for Britain at home and abroad. Rheims successes...

To-day he is partnered by the Argentinian Roberto Mieres. He has won the Yorke, the Seaman, triumphs in and Light Car Trophies.

Willi Buschmann who comes from , makes a first appearance at Goodwood, and, to the best of our knowledge, on any English racing track, driving a ALPINE Porsche.

This Garden, situated in the south-west corner of the Paddock, has been created by the Dunlop Rubber Company Limited to commemorate Brooklands Racing Track 1907-1939. It will be formally opened by His Grace the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, President of the British Automobile Racing Club, at 11 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, 22nd August, 1953.

LTHOUGH the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club was responsible for the main programme of events, the British Automobile Racing Club, under its former A title of the Junior Car Club, was associated with many of the big motor racing successes at the famous Brooklands track in in the years before the war. The J.C.C.'s first notable venture there was the 200 Miles Race in 1921, and there followed a brilliant series, including the Double Twelve-Hours Race, the Thousand Miles Race, and the International Trophy. Apart from these international events, many smaller meetings were organized.

The motor racing movement will always deplore the loss of Brooklands track. When it became clear after the war that no more racing could take place there, the J.C.C. acquired the goodwill of the famous Brooklands Automobile Racing Club, thus preserving some association with the great days of the past. Later the J.C.C. changed its title to British Automobile Racing Club thereby virtually combining First of all both clubs in the well-known initials B.A.R.C. The track was constructed by Mr. Henry Locke King in his private grounds. The first meeting took place on 6th July, 1907, and the last was the B.A.R.C. meeting 7 on 7th August, 1939. A piece of the actual Brooklands concrete from the "home jljij^wmTpftRAPYNrr ! banking" is built into the Garden. This section of concrete was chosen from the top of the banking at a point where only the fastest cars could travel.

The idea of a Brooklands Memorial Garden came from S. C. H. Davis, himself a veteran racing driver, and a well-known motoring writer; and his happy notion has been carried into effect by the generosity of the Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd., to whom Carburol the modern B.A.R.C. extends its warmest thanks. yhe UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICANT PLUS
