Raymond Mays was one of the world’s most famous racing drivers, breaking records from the Twenties in his Bugatti and the works Mercedes-Benz team car at his favourite hill climb venue “Shelsley Walsh” and driving various E.R.A’s to numerous victories all over Europe even managing to beat the German state sponsored racing cars in the Thirties and along with the world’s best racing drivers took the honours wherever they competed.
