J. G. Parry-Thomas (1884–1927) was a pioneering British racing driver and engineer best known for his relentless pursuit of land speed records during the 1920s. A former chief engineer at Leyland Motors, Parry-Thomas combined technical innovation with fearless driving, most famously piloting the aero-engined Babs to reclaim the world land speed record at Pendine Sands in 1926. His engineering ingenuity and willingness to push mechanical limits made him one of the most important figures of early speed competition, and his tragic death while attempting another record run in 1927 cemented his legacy as a symbol of the daring and experimental spirit of early motorsport.
