Footnotes

According to Bill Boddy: The Story of Brooklands, Vol 1, page 59.
"The BARC devised a method of grouping competitors that lasted almost until the end of the Club's career. They grouped competitor's cars by their observed speeds...".

There were handicap 60 and 70mph races for motorcycles and handicap 50, 76 and 100mph races for cars. The first 100mph handicap was run on 1 August 1910. The winner was Hadley in Oscar Thompson's Austin named 'Pobble', in second place was Herr Heim in a Benz and in third place was Captain Lindsay Stewart's Lancia with the racing number '13'.
