BRILLIANT one of my faves...,
This review is from: Chequered Flag: 100 Years of Motor Racing (Hardcover)
This book is unique and chronicles the first 100 years of very early grand prix racing and motorsport in general like no other. GREAT! For anyone interested in motosport history it's a must. Full of interesting tales and famous races and names.

Superb book for all motor racing enthusiasts.,
This review is from: Chequered Flag: 100 Years of Motor Racing (Hardcover)
I'm very much into F1 and can take most of the rest of motor sport or leave it.Nevertheless, this book (which I recieved as a gift a few years ago) is a brilliant history of the 4-wheel track sport, and anyone with an enthusiasm for road / track racing will find this right up their street. I read it cover to cover, and it's a pretty large tome, I can tell you. And if you can get it at this price (£6.49), you cannot go wrong, beleive me!

I have a lot of books about motor racing but this one is the best. Book gives an overview of the history, so, it's great. And I like the fantastic photoes as well. Racing fans, if you haven't this book in your collection - then you haven't anything at all !
