EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white drawing by F. Gordon Crosby, the Derby-Miller racing car roars past the finish line at Linas-Montlhery, France, leaving a trail of dust and determination in its wake. The year is the early 20th century, and the thrill of motor racing has captured the imagination of the world. The Derby-Miller racing car, a sleek and powerful machine, was a groundbreaking design for its time. Its innovative features, including a supercharged engine and streamlined body, allowed it to break records and redefine the limits of automotive speed. In this moment, as the car crosses the finish line, it has shattered yet another record, its tires screeching in triumph as it slows to a halt. The Linas-Montlhery race track, located just south of Paris, was a mecca for racing enthusiasts and a testing ground for the latest automotive technology. The track's long, straightaways and high-speed turns provided the perfect setting for the Derby-Miller to showcase its speed and agility. The crowd, gathered at the edge of the track, watches in awe as the car passes, their faces filled with excitement and wonder. F. Gordon Crosby's drawing captures the raw power and energy of the Derby-Miller racing car and the thrill of motor racing in the early 20th century. It is a testament to the enduring allure of speed and the human desire to push the boundaries of what is possible. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, a reminder of the rich history of motor racing and the pioneering spirit of those who dared to defy the limits of what was thought possible.
