Description

Dramatic motor racing images as drivers compete in the roads around Dundrod.

Taking place in May 1955, the Ulster Trophy Race would be won by Cultra man, Desmond Titterington. This success promised to be the prelude to even greater things, with Titterington competing in the Formula One Grand Prix the following year. Amongst his competitors was motorracing legend, Stirling Moss. Here we see shots of the main stand, cars hurtling round corners and the dangers of the route, as one competitor's car lies crumpled in a field.
