Brooklands - The new bluebird.

The transcript discusses the Bluebirds' attempt to set a new speed record at Daytona, led by Sir Malcolm Campbell. It details the extensive rebuilding of the Bluebirds since March 1933, focusing on achieving an efficient streamlined body. Aerodynamic tests revealed that preventing air from flowing through the radiator could increase speed by 15 mph. A lever was installed to control this feature, though its practicality at high speeds is uncertain. The team hopes for success, viewing it as a tribute to British design and craftsmanship.
