Capturing the Thrill of Speed - Inter University Motor Speed Trials in 1930s Hertfordshire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the exhilarating atmosphere of the Inter University Motor Speed Trials held on a crisp February day in 1932. The prestigious event, open exclusively to members of Oxford University Automobile Club and Cambridge University Automobile Club, unfolded at the picturesque Manor House in Hexton, near Hitchin. As we gaze upon this snapshot from between the wars, we are transported to an era where speed and elegance coexisted harmoniously. The vintage cars lined up on the starting line evoke a sense of anticipation as their engines roar with power. The drivers, clad in classic racing attire, exude determination and passion for their sport. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this image, emphasizing every detail - from the sleek curves of these magnificent machines to the expressions etched on spectators' faces. It is a testament to both Europeana photography and Planet News that such moments have been preserved for future generations. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of how sports can bridge gaps between academic institutions while igniting fierce rivalries. Beyond its historical significance lies an enduring fascination with speed and competition that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
