Extreme Beach Racing in 1934! 🏖️ #ClassicCars #Drifting #Motorsport #History

Southport, 1934 🇬🇧 – where the shoreline became a high-speed battlefield! 🏎️🌊

This incredible archive footage captures the “Southport Motor Racing Club 100-Mile Car Race” at Birkdale Sands. These 20th-century gladiators braved the shifting sands and ocean spray for a brutal 100-mile (161km) marathon. It was a grueling test of endurance that lasted over two hours, pushing both man and machine to their absolute limits on the unpredictable beach surface. 🏁

The race was won by R. O. Stephenson, who skillfully piloted his supercharged Austin 7 to victory against a field of much larger cars. In an era before modern safety standards, the only thing more impressive than the sliding cars was the bravery of the drivers—and the spectators standing just feet away from the action! 🏆💨
