Over the last century, Britain has become one of the major centres of motorsport, with many of the greatest names in the business such as Maclaren based in the UK. Beginning prior to WWII, competitive motorsport has been very popular amongst spectators and since the creation of Formula 1 Championship in the post-war years, the British Grand Prix has been one of the most important fixtures on the calendar. Racing in Britain has taken place over a number of circuits, and the author examines the history from its relatively humble origins through to the 1970s when the buccaneering spirit of those early days was replaced by the rise of corporate sponsorship. Britain has become a pioneer in the growth of off-road motorsport with the development of the famous circuit at Brooklands and its dramatic banking. Captured in splendid colour artworks, contemporary drawings, photographs, the rough and ready approach to early motorsport is all too evident in this fantastic nostalgic handbook. Colour and black and white illus. throughout with appendices listing winners, European Grand Prix events and non-championship Formula 1 races held in Britain. 64 page paperback, colour.
