Interesting.....

”Commissioned by the Brooklands driver John Cobb, and designed by Reid Railton, the car was built by Thomson and Taylor at their engineering works within the Brooklands Track. The car was completed in 1933 and first appeared in a race at Brooklands in August of that year.

John Cobb and his co-drivers achieved many Brooklands and World speed records with the car. Probably the most notable of these are the 24 hour record of 150.6mph set on the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1936 and the Brooklands Outer Circuit Lap Record of 143.44mph set by John Cobb in 1935, which was never beaten.”

It was an amazing car. Over 500 HP from a W-12 (predating VW/Bugatti's efforts by more than half a century) and brakes on the rear axle only. It took real intestinal fortitude do drive that beast at over 150 MPH.
