Kensington Moir: 'Motor Racing from the Pit Manager's Point of View'
Up to now all the speakers on motor racing have been well-known drivers, such as Sir Malcolm Campbell, S.C.H. Davis, Earl Howe. But this evening listeners are to have a new angle on the sport; they are to hear what it is like to be waiting in the pit of a racing track for the next casualty whilst a race is going on. The suspense is terrific, and when the manager and his mechanics are called on they have to work against time to save a race just as a surgeon must to save a life during an operation. One thinks of the leisurely remedy applied to an ordinary breakdown on the road. But the breakdown to be adjusted during a race, the car to be refuelled, the tyre to be changed - these things must be done in seconds.
Mr. Kensington Moir has been in charge of pits at Brooklands and on all the big tracks in Europe.
