Weybridge (United Kingdom) (AFP) – Thousands of motorsport fans and vintage car enthusiasts flock to the Brooklands Museum in Surrey, southwest of London, for an event marking almost exactly 100 years since the first British Grand Prix took place on 7th August 1926. “The car is alive, it’s fantastic to drive, it’s light, nimble, plenty of power, and sounds glorious. It’s the closest thing I’ve got to being a genuine work of art in metal,” says Julian Eckersley, owner of a vintage Bugatti car.
