The above picture is typical of the scenes on the new motor-car racing track at Weybridge. The bridge across the Wey shown in the photograph is of ferro-concrete. The outer edge is nearly thirty-six feet above the ground, while the inner edge is less than seven feet above the same level. The racing cars appear like flies on a wall, and only the centrifugal force developed by their terrific speed keeps them from falling off.
