Details |
The driver Resta covering a half-mile in 17.372 seconds (or at a speed of 103.615 miles an hour) at Brooklands. The question of who would be the first motorist to reach the speed of two miles a minute with an internal combustion engine appeared at this time to be growing nearer to a solution.
