THE HANDICAP. With a race embracing every type of car from the Austin Seven to big supercharged Bentleys and Mercedes, the handicap on which it is based is obviously of first importance . On looking through the entries it will be seen that a considerable proportion of the engines are supercharged, that the number of cylinders employed varies from four to eight, and that practically every modern improvement known in motor design to-day is incorporated in one or other of the competing cars . Similar conditions prevailed last year . A handicap was evolved for that event involving no extra penalty for such fittings as superchargers, etc ., but based purely on engine capacity . After the race was run the R .A .C. published a complete summary showing the individual lap times of every car until such time as it finished or retired . A careful comparison of those lap times with those set out in the handicap table showed that but for stops, almost every driver in the race had a very good chance of figuring in the first three . Accordingly the handicap for this year's race remains unaltered. A reference to the regulations will show that all cars in Classes B and C start at scratch, and will carry 264 lbs . of ballast. Cars in Class D will carry the same ballast, but will receive one lap start . Cars in Classes E and F will receive two lays start, but Class E cars will carry 264 lbs . of ballast, and Class F cars only 132 lbs . Cars in Class G will receive three laps start, and cars in Class H five laps start, and in neither case will ballast be carried . Every car will carry a driver and mechanic throughout . A lap is 13 2/3 miles, and the total distance of the race is thirty laps . Only the scratch cars will cover the complete distance, the others being credited with the number of laps start they are allotted under the handicap . Thus the cars will all start together, and the first past the post will be the winner, although they will cover varying distances . As soon as the race starts every car in receipt of a handicap will have the number of laps start it receives marked on the score board, and spectators will be able to follow the progress of the race thence onwards without any further reference to the handicap whatsoever. The following table is a copy of the handicap, and shows the time that the cars in each class are expected to take for the intermediate ' distances in the race, and also the av'erage speed at which they are expected to complete the course . By a comparison of the times given on the main score board 21
