1937 Donington Grand Prix – When The Germans Came to Donington
by Rodney Walkerley

Although I had been watching these cars and reporting their races since they first emerged from their factories in 1934, the race on that October day remains in my memory, not so much on account of the racing, which developed on the usual lines, but because of little incidents and one moment which was profoundly impressive.
