Racing on public roads was common in Europe, but discouraged in England. In fact a speed limit of 20mph was in force in the country until 1930.

The amateur’s quest for speed and competition found a home at Brooklands in England in 1907, the first custom-built, banked racetrack in the world, where drivers could reach high speeds. In 1913 Brooklands was the setting where the first person went 100 miles in one hour. The circuit also played host to the first 24-hour race ever.

A large part of the Brooklands scene was the camaraderie it generated among its amateur drivers.
