ALFAS IN THE VAN!–Two shots taken in close succession, of the field starting in the G.P. de l’Europe.

SECOND HOME was Luigi Fagioli, ex-Mercedes-Benz driver, whose Alfa-Romeo averaged 90.92 m.p.h. and crossed the finishing line 0.4 sec. after Farina’s. He is here seen driving very fast into the Hangar straight.

THIRD TO FINISH was our own Reg. Parnell, fourth man of the Alfa-Romeo team who averaged 90.37 m.p.h. and kept going, whereas Fangio retired, This picture was taken before a hare dented the car’s radiator cowl.

UNBLOWN SPEED.–The unsupercharged Talbots were faster than before and those of Cabantous and Rosier finished fourth and fifth, two laps behind the Alfas. Here Cabantous is seen concentrating on his corner.

AS GOOD AS EVER was Bob Gerard, whose aged B/C-type E.R.A. is seen here motoring steadily to ensure for him sixth place, a lap behind the Talbots.

HARD AT IT.— Parker in his J.A.P.-engined Parker-Special (48) and Paul Emery’s front-drive Norton-engined Emeryson during the Silverstone “500” race. Later, passing like this, Emery experienced a front-end sIide which caused his car to strike a straw-bale end on and overturn at Stowe Corner.

CLOSE COMPANY, and it had been closer still in the opening laps. John Cooper’s Cooper, chased hard by Moss’ Cooper, lead Aikens’ Iota, the Parker-Special and A. E. Brown’s Cooper during the final of the “500” race.

UNLUCKY.– Stirling Moss won his heat at 77.40 m.p.h. at Silverstone, but lost the Final to Aikens, in second place, as his piston broke. He is preparing cotton wool for his ears while Father Moss and mechanic fit the engine-cover.
