BAD CONDITIONS
CAR WILL DO BETTER Rugby. February 22. In connection with Sir Malcolm Campbell's record run, the conditions were so bad at midday, the hour announced for the trial. that he thought it would be impossible to break the record but undertoolc, in order not to disappoint the 50,000 people who were present, to drive the Bluebird as fast as he dared. The car used by Sir Malcolm had been reconstructed and fitted with Rolls Royce engines similar to those used in the victorious British Schneider Trophy aeroplanes, the horsepower thus being raised from 1458 to 2500. Sir Malcolm considers the car is capable of a higher speed than that recorded to-day, provided the course conditions are satisfactory.
