Brooklands

At that point, the pits were being rebuilt.

So the team were all set up on the apron for Brooklands, like a tight left towards the end of the lap.

And I think on about lap two or three, I'm starting to build up speed, getting faster and faster.

And I had the biggest moment of my life at Brooklands where it's completely gone sideways.

You wind up with so much lock, you think, if this does ever come back, I'm not going to know where straight on is.

And you can so easily spear off left or spear on right because you've still got loads of lock on.

They did, though, in the short term, keep winning.

In 1913, the L76s had success at Brooklands and England, and then they did the thing they were originally conceived to do.

They won the Indianapolis 500.

That came to pass with Jules Gou driving the car and setting all records he could set along the way, including the one for the most champagne consumed during the race, which was held on a hot August day, and that saw Gou swilling champagne at every pit stop, apparently consuming a couple of bottles over the course of the event.

I was just Googling while we were chatting and Britain's, or the UK achieved nine land speed records between 1923 and 1937.

We were so active in this area, you know, and I went to Brooklyn's the other day for a fly-in for the celebration of Concord and You know, there were more motorcycle races at Brooklands than there were car races.

You know, we were very, very active in this area.

I mean, you know, we did a huge amount.
