'A splendid performance was accomplished at Brooklands yesterday. when a 30-hp. six-cylinder Sunbeam, entered by Mr. Louis Coatalen, and driven in two-hour spells by the team which has represented the Sunbeam Company in the more recent important road races, viz., Mr. K. Lee Guinness, Mr. D. Resta, and M. Chassagne, beat the world's records from two to twelve hours. The attempt was favoured with fine weather, only a gentle breeze blowing. {List of records in article}'[1]
