Reports of Recent Events, June 1951

CALIFORNIA S.C.C. PALM SPRINGS RACE (April 1st)

In view of the sales-promotion which American sports-car races have, and the special attention given in Motor Sport recently to last year’s events, the result of the 160-mile Palm Springs race is of especial interest. Lewis won in Jim Kimberly’s 2-litre Ferrari. Thirty-three started and the Ferrari was never challenged. Hill’s “2.9” Alfa-Romeo, which made fastest practice lap, lost a wheel after three laps. A Cadillac-Allard Was second, followed by two Jaguar XK 120s, whose drivers had “nursed their brakes”—more fuel for the Allard versus Jaguar argument! Neunmnn’s TD M.G. went astonishingly fast in winning the 1 1/2-litre class very easily from Breeze’s TD.

Results :
1st : M. Lewis (Ferrari).
2nd : J. Armstrong (Cadillac-Allard).
3rd : E. Forbes.Robinson (Jaguar XK120).

COPPA INTER-EUROPA SPORTS CAR RACE (April 15th)

Villoresi continued in winning form for Ferrari in this two-hour race at Monza.

Results :
1st: L. Villoresi (2,560-c.c. Ferrari) 169.98 miles.
2nd : Amendola (“2.3” Ferrari).
3rd: L. Chiron (4 1/2-litre Delahaye).

HANTS & BERKS M.C. VERSATILITY TRIAL (April 21st)

This novel event, in which the Bristol M.C. & L.C.C. assisted, was intended to indicate who, amongst clubmen, owns the best all-round sports car. Flying laps of Castle Combe were allied to an examination for comfort, luggage accommodation, passenger accommodation, etc., and climbs of trials-type hills essayed, all on the same tyre pressures. The three fastest at Castle Combe were the Ford V8 HC. Special, the blown Buckler and a 1 3/4-litre Lea-Francis. The three best all-rounders on static judgment were deemed to be an Austin A90, a B.M.W. and a vintage 3-litre Bentley. Curiously, no data about the tyre pressures used seems to have been released, although this should have been one of the more informative items of the event. Nevertheless, congratulations to the Hants & Berks M.C. for yet another pioneering effort-the importance of which seems to have been firmly grasped by one contemporary weekly, which gave the Versatility Trial 22 inches, the B.A.R.C. Members’ Meeting at Goodwood only two, and nothing at all to the Half-Litre Club’s Brands Hatch racing! We would like to see this event repeated, but with even greater variety, such as easy-starting, slow-running, speed hill-climb, hill restart and other tests. To be quite honest, we would also like the results of the big rallies. like the R.A,C. Rally this month, to be decided thus, so that cars well as drivers could feel proud of winning.

LANCS & CHESHIRE M.C. 10TH DERBYSHIRE SPORTING TRIAL (April 22nd)

The warmest congratulations to Dorothy Corbishley on winning this classic trial against strong male opposition. She drove the Ford Ten-engincd C.C.S. and was passengered by her father. As a personal opinion, the driver who wore a bowler hat, yellow pullover and anti-gas trousers could probably do more discredit to trials than any number of doorless, overhung “specials”!

THE XVIII MILLE MIGLIA (April 29th)

After Ascari and Seratini had both crashed, Villoresi brought another of the new 220-b.h.p., Type 846, “InterAmerica” 4.1-litre. sports-coupe Ferraris home first in this stupendous 970-mile race, last survivor of the great town-to-town races that virtually died with Paris-Madrid in 1908. Villoresi averaged over 75 1/2 m.p.h. in spite of a bad crash. Next home was Bracco, in a Lancia Aurelia saloon of only 2 litres, a feat that is epic and ranks the latest Lancia as one of the world’s great cars. Scotti’s 2.6-litre Ferrari was third. Marzotto’s 2-litre fourth. Cortese again drove well – remember the Tour de Sicily? – to finish eighth (second in his class), but even more outstanding was Fagioli’s seventh place in a 1,100-c.c. Osca, at all but 70 m.p.h. The intervening places went to another Lancia Aurelia and a 4 1/2-litre Alfa-Romeo. Wisdom and Hume drove splendidly in a D.B.II Aston-Martin saloon to win the 3-litre class. The XK120 Jaguar engine of Biondetti’s tubular-chassis special lost water due to a hose-leak and Moss and Johnson eliminated themselves when their XK120s skidded near the start. Allard also crashed. Stapleton and his wife put up a stout show by finishing, in an old Aston-Martin. So the 1951 Milk Miglia has come and gone and the battle transfers to Le Mans.

Results :

1st : L. Villoresi-Cassani (4.1-litre Ferrari), 12 hr. 50 min. 18 sec., 76.70 m.p.h.
2nd : Bracco-Maglioli (2-litre Lancia), 13 hr. 10 min. 14 sec., 7:3.70 m.p.h.

SUNBEAM-REGISTER SANDHURST RALLY (April 29th)

The Sunbeam-Register, which now has a membership of 220 Wolverhampton-built Sunbeams, attracted 27 of them to a rally at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, organised by Mrs. W. Boddy. where Brig. J. C. Walkey, C.B.E., Assistant Commandant, judged a Concours d’Eleganee after the Sunbeams had paraded round spacious La Marchant Square.

J. J. Regan, R.A.S.C.

Lt.-Comdr. Arkell’s beautiful 1935 Twenty-five saloon won the Concours and the best performers in each test were as follows, the first car to attempt them being, appropriately, R. C. Carter’s 1915 ex-W.D.-type Sunbeam :
