Vintage Classic Car Collection - Brooklands RoadRacer rebuild 1948 - driver Willem G Wouterse

The Bentley Roadracer is Bob Petersen ode to the old days af car racing,... In the early days at Brooklands the majority of races were short handicap events rather than the endurance competitions. Racing had been designed to mimic the horseracing equivalent, and indeed in the first season of racing in 1907, drivers wore jockeys’ silks to identify not only themselves but also the owner of the car, exactly as would happen at Ascot. Back in the late 1920s, long-distance motor races were becoming increasingly popular with both the Le Mans and Spa 24-Hours events well established in the motor racing calendar. There was however, no such endurance race in Britain, and this was down to the fact that on the Continent countries used their public roads as circuits, which was not permitted here in England. Brooklands was therefore the only racetrack that would potentially work and so the story began in 1927. Although Brooklands was the first purpose-built motor racing circuit and wanted to mirror the pattern and success of Le Mans, there was a problem in that the circuit could never run a continuous 24-hour race because the local residents of Weybridge would complain about the noise. A way was however found around this in the 1920s and ‘30s by running 2 x 12-hour races or a “Double Twelve” to beat the 8pm curfew on racing.
