Photograph of Otto Merz, Car No. 71, stationary, side view, at theArds Tourist Trophy Race, 1929

  • ~Notes, said:
    The car is a Mercedes-Benz with a V6, 7.1 litre supercharged engine.

Photograph of three cars at speed, front view, Nos 17, 19 & 22 at the Ards T.T., Newtownards, Co. Down (1929)

  • Niall McAuley said:
    There is a map of the TT circuit here.
  • ~Notes, said:
    22 is Donald Kaye driving a 1500cc Lea Francis, 19 is the 1500cc Alvis of Cyril Paul, 17 is the 1100cc Amilcar of Vernon Balls.
  • Simon Johnston said:
    @Notes. You obviously have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about! Of course it’s not helped by PRONI captioning the photograph incorrectly as it’s the 1933 TT, not the 1929 one. And who on earth is Donald Kaye? Did you perhaps mean Kaye Don? To save you looking up the 1933 race the cars are M.G. C Type (Stan Hailwood), M.G. K3 (Eddie Hall) and M.G. K3 (Tazio Nuvolari, the winner).

Photograph of drivers running to their cars, Ards Tourist Trophy Race, 1929

  • ~Notes, said:
    61 & 60 are Arrol-Aster 2.4litre, 59 & 58 are Ford 2litre. 56-52 are Bugatti 2.3litre, 51 is a French SARA 1.8litre. Interesting to see them racing with the roof up!
  • Simon Johnston said:
    Oh dear, @Notes. The race regulations required them to complete the first two laps with their hoods up - common racing practice in those days for touring car races, such as Le Mans.
  • Simon Johnston said:
    In 1928 they had to put the hoods up and race for two laps with them up; in 1929 they had to put them down before setting off.
