1938 UAA Tourist Trophy

I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live for the Unglonian Broadcasting Corporation from Strathcona Park in Grahamshire for the 15th annual UAA Tourist Trophy. Two works teams from the Mille Miglia have come to visit. Alfa Romeo and the winning team, BMW. BMW have brought a pair of 328's, churning out 79hp, while Alfa Romeo have brought a trio of 8C's producing a whopping 225hp. 45 cars are line up for this international showdown.
