1929 UAA Tourist Trophy

I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live for the Unglonian Broadcasting Corporation from Strathcona Park in Grahamshire for the sixth annual UAA Tourist Trophy. Following last year's debacle the UAA has decreed that each car must have a minimum of 60hp as anything else would be too weak to go the distance. 44 cars are lined up for the start, which is a lot more than we expected.

The flag has dropped and we are off but Morris Castlereagh has stalled!

Harry Andrews drops oil on lap 2, causing 3 cars to spin out in the next 2 laps.

Peter Cameron and John Brandon collide on lap 6.

One lap later, Max De Lang runs over debris caused by the collision on the previous lap, causing a puncture that would put him out of the race.

Ethan MacCallum breaks his brakes (Get it?) on lap 9.

Frank Clement drops oil on lap 12, causing 3 cars to spin out in the next 2 laps.

Victor Malcourt retires with a transmission problem on lap 15.

Haywood Jenkins retired with a carburettor failure lap 17.

Bob Washington, Colin Smith and George McNamara all collide on lap 20.

Bruce Dempsey suffers an oil problem on lap 22, causing 8 cars to pin out on the next 4 laps.

Rudolf Caracciola's Mercedes throws a rod on lap 31.

Rhys Johnson suffer yet another oil problem on lap 39, causing 2 cars to spin out on the next lap.

Adam Phillips and Peter Smedley collide on lap 45.

Vincent Atkins and Louis Chiron also collide on lap 47.

One lap later, Gerald Richards runs over debris caused by the collision on the previous lap, causing a puncture that would put him out of the race.

Brendan Varley breaks a valve on lap 53.

Eric Arbeid gets an engine failure on lap 77.

Norman Browne violently crashes his Bentley on lap 79. Browne is thrown from his car, but is unhurt.

Wayne Hiram suffers an axle failure on lap 82. He would the last DNF of the race until lap 161, when the race ended.
