Europeans dominate at the new Vanderbilt Cup

The season ended in the revived Vanderbilt Cup in New York. William K. Vanderbilt had sponsored road races at Long Island 1904 - 1910. His nephew George took up the idea anew in the late 1930s. The race was run to American Automobile Association "Class E" - non stock cars with engines of 366 cubic inches (5.998 litre) or less.
The race was to be held at Columbus day, Monday 12th October.

Entries:
The Scuderia Ferrari sent Nuvolari, Brivio and Farina to New York to take part. Other European entries included the V-8RIs of Etancelin and "Raph", Sommer in his private Tipo B Alfa, Wimille's Bugatti T59 works ERAs for Fairfield and Earl Howe and Major Cotton's R1A for Brian Lewis.
The rest of the field were made up of Americans in Indy and dirt track cars mostly with two-speed gearboxes.

Although the track layout was incredibly twisty, the Americans were sadly totally outclassed by the GP cars once the European drivers came to terms with the very loose dirt track surface. Even with the fact that Nuvolari's 12 cylinder Alfa Romeo was running on only 11 cylinders the ""Flying Mantuan" was to dominate the race completely winning by 9 minutes from Wimille's Bugatti. Brivio was third from Sommer with Trossi fifth in his V-8RI, Etancelin's Maserati having retired.
The first American home was Rose in his Burd Piston Special finishing sixth almost 25 minutes behind Nuvolari.

In retrospect: This is a hard race as, not because of lack of information, but rather that the availaible information differs so much. There is an excellent web site Vanderbilt Cup Races that I highly recommend that shows pictures of most the cars that took part in the race.

Mays, finally!

After a miserable season the work ERA team and Mays finally was victorious in the 10 lap Mountain Championchip race at Brooklands. The ERA proved more nimble than R�esch's big Alfa Romeo and the Swiss driver finished in a disappointing second position after a bad start. Bira (Maserati) moved up to third in ther results after Martin (Alfa Romeo) was penalized for a jump start.

The Mountain Championship was a scratch race that was included in the B.A.R.C. Authumn meeting at Brooklands. The meeting included three races on the outer circuit and seven races on the Mountain circuit.

Entries:
Hans Ruesch entered his Alfa Romeo 8C-35 (500013) and Charles Martin and Austin Dobson raced their Alfa Romeo P3s (50003 and 50005). Prince Chula had bought Whitney Straight's old 3 litre Maserati (#3011) from Harry Rose on 7 September for Prince Bira to drive. Another Maserati (#3013) was enter by Miss E. Ellison for Thomas Cholmondley-Tapper. It was the Ex. Ealr How car, repainted green.
There were three ERA entries, Raymond Mays with the black works car (R4B) with a 2 litre engine, Arthur Dobson with his white car (R7B) and Denis Scribbans with his cream colored R9B.
There were two of the early offset Altas in the entry list, Cormack (52S) and Wakefield (56S).

Race:
The Saturday weather was fine but miserably cold. Still there was a big croud following the event. The event started off with the three outer circuit handicap races, Norton Bracey (M.G), Baker-Carr (Bentley 4.5 litre) and Appleton (Appleton-Riley) being the winners. The Mountain Championship was the third of the Mountain circuit races. The first two were won by Harry Bowler (Bentley 3 litre) and G. Bagratouni (M.G. Magnette).
Then it was time for the Mountain Championship race. The cars were lined up side by side across the starting area with the starter to the extreme right.

Start in one line

At the start Martin took the lead followed by Mays, Bira, Scribbans, Tapper and R�esch. Soon Mays took over the lead from Martin. R�esch had made a bad start and more unfamiliar to the Mountain Circuit than the other drivers he seemed to struggle during the first lap of the race but then came charging through the field moving up to fourth on lap two. On the 9th lap Bira and R�esch took the fork hairpin close together and went up the straight side by side, R�esch moving up to third. Mays took the victory but behind him just before the finish line R�esch passed Martin to take second position with a margin of 0.4s. Bira finished fourth.
After the race R�esch did a protest against Mays jumping the start but it was refused by the Stewards. However the Stewards found that both Alfa Romeo P3 driers Charlie Martin and Austin Dobson had had their front wheels over the line at the start and they were penalized one minute each, Martin dropping from 3rd to 10th and Dobson from 6th to 11th.

The Mountain Championship race was then followed by a handicap race won by Ms. Kay Petre (Riley), then the "Siam Cup", a 10 lap scratch race for ERAs only won by Raymond Mays (now in a 1.5 litre car) followed by Dobson and Scribbans and finally an "Oxford-Cambridge" race won by Reggie Tongue (ERA).
