I B.R.D.C. Empire Trophy (Heat 1), 1932
Racing cars up to 1500cc
Brooklands Outer Circuit, Weybridge, Great Britain

This race was an amalgamation of what had been intended as 3 (of 4) heats to determine the finalists for the Empire Trophy. Due to the small entry, the 750cc, 1100cc and 1500cc classes ran together: the 1500cc cars were actually entered in a 2000cc class, for which a number of larger cars were also entered, but which all either failed to start or did not arrive. Howe, Humphreys and March were judged to have won their classes, but only Howe and Widengren took part in the final, although the original rules said that the first four in each heat would progress.
