All the important international motor races on the Continent next year will lie contested by British drivers in some of the fastest, cars ever built, 'trials and experiments arc already proceeding for two important racing teams, who, with the hacking of well-known builders, will take up the challenge of European motor manufacturers. These manufacturers have refused to supply the latest Continental racing models to British drivers.
