I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live for the Unglonian Broadcasting Corporation from Strathcona Park in Grahamshire for the 14th annual UAA Tourist Trophy.

Could this car be a contender with the sports cars?

The flag drops and we are racing but Joseph Bruce McMahon has stalled on the grid! A heartbreaking end for the winner of the 1935 race.

John Dutton drops oil on lap 5, causing his team-mate Adam Bryant to spin out on the following lap.

Bruce Dempsey also suffers from oil trouble on lap 12, Morris Castlereagh being the victim of Dempsey's oil slick.

Leary Kay has a piston failure on lap 42.

John Brandon gets a magneto failure on lap 51.

Stan McCleery breaks his brakes (geddit?) on lap 60.

Malcolm Peck breaks his transmission lap 76.
