#1 and #3 are great, looks like if you park at Tesco, you can walk the old circuit ?

You can walk three sections of the old circuit that are next to the Tesco car park. The second and third pictures are of the section opposite.#1 and #3 are great, looks like if you park at Tesco, you can walk the old circuit ?
The first image, and the one I posted a couple of days ago, are sections of the track inside the museum. Three days a week they do short car rides in open-top period vehicles that use the section of track that goes under the bridge.

Great pictures.
Incredible when you think about it, the speed folk would drive at in monster cars, no power steering, no protection and safety an after thought.

Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

It was not until the 1970's that serious changes were made to make motor sport significantly safer. Great pictures.

I wont post a link on here, but YT has videos showing horrific crashes at Brooklands.

Just watched the Big Bentley, No. 41, come off the track, killing the driver. Incredible. The music, almost jolly.
I think it was Jackie Stewart who led the charge on driver safety, not before time either.
Thanks again for the images, not only good, but hark back to a time that seems 'so long ago...'

Yes it it is not for the faint hearted and as you note, the music is quite bizarre. Just watched the Big Bentley, No. 41, come off the track, killing the driver. Incredible. The music, almost jolly.

Different times, different values I guess.
