More about the book

The British motorsport scene has always been renowned for brave innovation and this was certainly the case during the exciting time described by this book. An enthusiast's reflective pot-pourri, in words and intimate paddock scenes, photographed in black and white and color beginning from the mid 1950s and through the 1960s, when motor racing was still accessible to all, and, finally the 1970s when overt sponsorship and television changed the sport for ever. A defining era. Illustrated with 300 extensively captioned, many previously unpublished photographs. Including continental race circuits, the cars and the personalities. Essential reading for any true motorsport fan.
