Off to F.T.D. – Joe Fry gets the astonishing Freikaiserwagen off the line at Weston-Super-Mare, rear wheels at a prodigious angle and spinning mightily, to clock fastest time in 21.12 sec. Notice the top half of the steering wheel is removed.

On the Way to the Championship. – Ken Wharton and his intrepid girl passenger find things almost too easy in the R.A.C. Championship Trial.

Not so Sober. D. R. Wootton’s entry in the Championship Trial suggests an Austin Seven of very moderate horse-power; actually he had a Ford Ten engine under the bonnet.
