The B.B.C. will broadcast from Goodwood.

For Jersey, on April 28th, the B.A.R.C. has received entries from all those drivers down to compete in the above-mentioned Goodwood Trophy Race, so another classic long-distance race is assured.

On April 16th the Bristol M.C. & L.C.C. holds its Lulsgate airfield races for 500-c.c. racing cars and sports cars, but only members and friends may spectate.

For its Eastbourne Rally on April 9th/10th, the Bentley Drivers’ Club had received 55 entries as we closed for press, including six Police School entries, six Lagondas, five Lancias and two Frazer-Nashes. The police are taking the event very seriously and are preparing a Jowett Javelin, a Railton, two 2 1/2-litre Rileys and two Humber “Super Snipes.”
