Catseye Response Medical Services was proud to provide medical cover for a special event marking the centenary of Sir Henry Segrave’s historic land speed record at Ainsdale Beach, Southport.
On 16 March 1926, British racing driver Sir Henry Segrave set a groundbreaking land speed record of 152.33 mph (245.15 km/h) on Ainsdale Beach. Driving Ladybird, a 4-litre Sunbeam Tiger, Segrave achieved one of the most significant early milestones in British motorsport history and helped establish the UK as a centre of speed record innovation.
The centenary celebration at Ainsdale Beach brought together motorsport enthusiasts, historic vehicle supporters, and visitors with a shared interest in Britain’s rich engineering and racing heritage. It was a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the pioneering drivers and machines that pushed the boundaries of speed in the early 20th century.
Our Catseye Response Medical Services team was on site throughout the event providing professional medical cover, helping ensure the celebration could take place safely for all attendees.
