1937 UAA Tourist Trophy

I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live for the Unglonian Broadcasting Corporation from Strathcona Park in Grahamshire for the 14th annual UAA Tourist Trophy. The Depression has continued to ravage the world, with no foreign drivers coming to visit. However some teams have imported the Renault Viva Grand Sport which can generate 95hp. 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.

Herodion Tyson loses his engine on lap 15.

James Folke loses oil on lap 24, causing David Dunstan to spin out on the following lap.

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.

Emmerson Huxtable drops oil on lap 80, causing Erskine Peyton to spin out on the following lap.

Terry Derrick loses oil on lap 96, causing Cecil Hermann to spin out on the following lap.

Patrick Ward gets a conrod failure on lap 112.

Brendan Varley has a crankshaft failure on lap 122.

Kurt MacConnell suffers a clutch failure on lap 124.

Cyril Jones loses oil on lap 133, causing Ian Michaels to spin out on the following lap.

Gerald Richards breaks his brakes (geddit?) on lap 141.

Wayne Hiram runs out of fuel just inches from the finish line.

It's the little car that could, the Renault Viva Grand Sport wins the 1937 UAA Tourist Trophy!
