Saturday. 'AT The first race meeting of the season, promoted by the British Motor Cycle Racing Club, began on Saturday at Brooklands, despite intermittent rain. The only event decided, however, was the 100-mils high-speed cyclecar reliability trial, for which there were ten starters, each machine having to carry a passenger. After a tine performance in the rain, and travelling at 50 miles per hour throughout, the Singer cyclecar, driven by B. Haywood, came in first, but was disqualified for being 30lb. over the standard weight. Consequently the "Motor Cycle" Cup was awarded to A. W. Lambert on a Morgan cyclecar. Other awards were:—Gold medal, Class A, V. Busby; silver medal, Claw B, N. F. Holder. The motor cycle racing was postponed till next Wednesday owing to the wet state of the track.'[1]
Wednesday. 'the events postponed from last Saturday's meeting of the British Motor Cycle Racing Club were decided at Brooklands. Only one item, the high-speed cycle-car reliability was disposed of on Saturday, so that the programme for yesterday consisted of eight races. E. Stanley, on his Singer motor cycles of different engine sizes, won three events; and W. Barnes, on his Zenith, two. All the races were over a distance of three laps, or 8 miles 289 yards'[2]
