1928 Unglonian Grand Prix

I'm Billy Rhodes broadcasting live for the Unglonian Broadcasting Corporation from Strathcona Park in Grahamshire for the inaugural Unglonian Grand Prix. 27 cars from around the world are lined up for this international showdown.

And they’re off! Achille Varzi, the only driver not driving a Bugatti and the favourite to win the race launches into the lead!

Edouardo Probst crashes on lap 4. He will remember that for years to come.

J-C d'Ahetze (whoever he is) crashes on lap 26.

William Grover-Williams blows his engine on lap 38.

David Dunstan retires from mechanical issues on lap 40.

Cleto Nenzioni breaks his brakes (get it?) on lap 42.

George O'Connor crashes on lap 44.

Achille Varzi pulls into the pits on lap 54, but an improperly screwed lugnut comes loose, causing a tire to come off, sending Varzi down to 3rd.

Peter Darragh-Kavanaugh gets a puncture on lap 64.

Tazio Nuvolari suffers from a Magneto failure on lap 74.

Giulio Foresti drops oil on lap 80.

Guy Bouriat blows his engine on lap 92.

Charles Mason is the inaurgural winner of the Unglonian Grand Prix!
