Martin I's Racer
Martin Igglesramsworthbottomthwaite, the famous Lancastrian pilot was known simply as Martin I to his fans. He was probably also known as Martin I to his enemies too: for time saving if nothing else.
The first appearance of this classic open-top machine was not a success. The designers at Llwyngwril Systems forgot to drill any drain holes in the cockpit floor. A freak thunder storm during the race filled the cockpit with water, adding weight to the craft and slowing it down by a significant margin. BMW later copied this idea.
Drainage holes were made and Martin I won his following race, describing himself as, "Dry & shaken not stirred."
