Brooklands Trophy Race

Run off at the BRDC Spring Bank Holiday Silverstone Meeting, this attracted an interesting field of pre-war cars. It was a handicap 5-lap race over the Club circuit, won by Collis’ 1936/38 Alvis Speed 20 Special, which ran with blade mudguards in place, who took the lead on the second lap. Wood’s Semmence was second, Gahagan’s ERA third from scratch, after making fastest lap, at 95.76 m.p.h. TASO Mathieson, President of the Brooklands Society, presented the BS Cup to Humphrey Collis.
