Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Racing at Silverstone. DESCRIPTION: The racing at Silverstone drew even more people than there were at the Cup Final. Mr Afanassiev, Russia’s man-in-charge, was there.

Contesting men: Stirling Moss (in a Cooper), Trintignant (Cooper), Behra (BRM), Salvadori (Cooper), and Collins (Ferrari).
