Although John Cobb's delage had the highest average speed in the 100 mile race at Brooklands for the British Empire Trophy, the event was awarded to G. E. T. Eyston by the stewards, who decided that "Cobb had failed to give way sufficiently soon to allow Eyston to pass him in accordance with the instructions to drivers."  John Cobb's 10,688 c.c. Delage averaged 126.36 miles an hour and G. E. T. Eyston's 7,940 c.c. Panhard averaged 126.354 miles an hour.  Lord Howe was third in his 1,486 c.c. Delage at a speed of 116.537 miles an hour.  The contest was one of the most dramatic ever seen at Brooklands.
