The Classic MotorCycle

Additional track time

This composite picture (it’s two pieces joined together) was used on the letters page in the April 28, 1938, edition of The Motor Cycle with the caption: “Bank Holiday at Donington. A fine, panoramic view of Melbourne Corner, a section of the new 3⅛-mile course that was used for the first time for motorcycle racing.”

The event report for the meeting to which it referred had actually been carried in the preceding had been a day earlier (April 20, 1938) with its report, under ‘Good Easter racing at Donington.’
