Jack complained that the steering was stiff . It was found that the off side kingpin on the steering was too tight , maybe getting hot as Brooklands surface wasn't smooth . In the pit lane the kingpin was drifted out because it was very tight and a reamer run down the steering and suspension carriers , but they reamed it out when it was very hot . After replacing the kingpin and the rest of the equipment cooled down the steering was much better but the off side wheel shook at high speed due to the kingpin being slack in the now cooled down housing . When Clive was on the banking where the car was heavier due to centrifugal force , the off side front ' dug in under load ,and because the tracking was way out as the looseness toe out pulled the car over the banking .

Seatbelts only became compulsory for 'normal' driving in the UK on 31st January 1983. They had to be fitted to new cars as standard since the late 1960s. I cannot believe people in the 1930s had even understood the concept let alone used them.

Speed limit ??? It's a race, moron !!!

It must have been both exhilarating and frightening to drive that fast in an open cockpit racer.

In 1996 I was invited by the then curator Mr Roger Rammage to drive my British Special 'The Bellini Special' on what is left of the banking. My car was based on a Ford Popular so it was twin-axle, so quite a light skippy car, but it did have modern dampers etc, like a D**k I took a run up and caned it under the bridge un the banking and I left the road at under 60. I know the track is degraded now but Brooklands is deceptively steep, how you did over 120? Maybe the heavier the car the better? On the photo-shoot I was asked to park my car close to the top of the banking and do the standard foot on the wheel pose, but my car slid slowly sideways down towards the photographer, so I had to quickly jump in and turn the wheel in case it snagged ad flipped over. A truly incredible place, if you haven't been you must go just to soak it up and put these breathtaking clips into perspective.. RIP Brave Mr Dunfee. I always did wonder, what did happen to his car, is it or at least its motor still breathing? I did ask Mr Rammage back in the day but he didn't know.

Hey@Jim lastname Nice to read you mate. Good question, after my visit (see above) I has assumed that was all that was left of the track, but only this year in fact I discovered there is actually quite a lot of it... sadly no longer connected to all the other bits. This is my personal favourite drone video of all of its remaining parts... and I have to say that even after having driven on that one piece of banking, I still had no appreciation of the sheer scale of it all... Truly I got chills watching this video. Enjoy (if you haven't seen it already): kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3x8xLNmo8KWoLA.html Best wishes to you...

I love how they pick the music intro for a video titled "Fatal Crash". It's like don't be sad, it's just another fatal crash, cheer up.

This crash was the inspiration for the crash in the TV series Downton Abbey where Mary's race car boyfriend sees his friend die while racing at Brooklands. Unlike this real crash where they were brothers, in the show they were best friends and were chatting in the pit just before the crash, as seen here.

Is the music for real?

Part of this track still exists, the banking is steep, and too much to even walk up to the top. It's probably beyond repair now, and the infield airstrip has been built on, but the hill-climb track still exists, and the site hosts the Vickers aircraft collection, an early wind tunnel, and a high-altitude / cold weather test chamber called the 'stratospheric' chamber which was used in post-WWII research into high-altitude jet flying .
