====One-hour records==== [[George E. Stanley]] broke the one-hour record at Brooklands race track on a Singer motorcycle in 1912, becoming the first ever rider of a 350 cc motorcycle to cover over {{convert|60|mi|-1}} in an hour. The world record for the first person to cover 100 miles in 1 hour was set by [[Percy E. Lambert]] at Brooklands, on 15 February 1913 when driving his 4.5 litre sidevalve [[Talbot (automobile)|Talbot]]. He actually covered 103 miles, 1470 yards (167.1 km) in 60 minutes. A contemporary film of his exploits on that day can be viewed at the [[Brooklands Museum]]. '''Youngest person to drive a lap at Brooklands''' [[Ivy Cummings]] is thought to be the youngest person to complete a lap when in 1913, (aged 11/12) she started her father Sydney Cummings' car whilst he was watching aircraft and drove around the course.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ivy Cummings - Graces Guide|url=https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Ivy_Cummings|access-date=2020-06-12|website=www.gracesguide.co.uk|archive-date=10 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200610115450/https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Ivy_Cummings|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Commercial Times Β» The World's Largest Collection of Automotive Art|url=http://commercial.ge/ka/the-world%e2%80%99s-largest-collection-of-automotive-art/|access-date=2020-06-12|language=ka|archive-date=12 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200612142323/http://commercial.ge/ka/the-world%E2%80%99s-largest-collection-of-automotive-art/|url-status=live}}</ref>
