1950 UAA Tourist Trophy

I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live from Strathcona park for the 19th annual UAA Tourist Trophy. The big news has been the retirement of Joseph Bruce McMahon, after 25 years of racing and winning the 1935 Tourist Trophy. The other big news is the appearance of the Renault works team, who have sent a pair of 4CV's driven by Trevor Moray, Norman Bradley, Luĉjo Silva (Hope I pronounced that correctly) and Barry Turner.

A record 51 cars are gathered onto the grid for this great race.

The flag drops and we are racing but Bert Bryson has stalled on the starting line!
