This title was first published as a hardback edition to considerable commercial and critical success in 2001 and was quickly reprinted. This 3rd reprint of the paperback edition makes available again a classic and much respected account of the history of the famous motor racing circuits of England.
From the earliest days of the internal combustion engine, there has been an imperative to compete both in terms of speed and endurance - an imperative which today is best exemplified through the huge interest in the Formula One (F1) championship. Although F1 is the pinnacle of motor sport, at a lesser level there is a vast network of motor racing circuits at which competitive motor sport takes place on a regular basis. Many of the circuits are amongst the best-known names in sport - Brooklands, Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Castle Donington - but others are less well known but are, none the less, still significant.In "Motor Racing Circuits in England: Then & Now", Peter Swinger has gathered together a fascinating selection of photographs and memorabilia to illustrate the changing face of this century. Alongside the photographic selection, each chapter also includes line drawings to illustrate how the circuit developed over the years. Some of the circuits, like Brooklands, are now but memories in sporting terms; others still draw enthusiasts through their gates in huge numbers for car or bike racing. For all those interested in motor racing - and there are many hundreds of thousands in Britain alone - "Motor Racing Circuits in England: Then & Now" is a fascinating portrait of a rapidly developing sport. It is an exercise in nostalgia that will find a ready audience amongst all those who remember the classic motor racing moments.
