Product Description

Product Description

This book outlines the development and important events in the history of 500cc motor racing, and it is hoped that it will stimulate or revive interest in an important era in motor-racing evolution.


About the Author

Colin Rawlinson was taken on a family outing to his first motor-race meeting at Castle Combe in 1954, when the popularity of the 500cc car racing was at its height. Some thirty years later he acquired his own 500, the unique Smith-Buckler, which, although a one-off, was professionally constructed to the order of the late Ken Smith of Enfield. Colin has subsequently hill-climbed the Smith-Buckler with 'little success but much enjoyment'. He is a director and treasurer of the 500 Owners Association.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth A Look, 15 Jan 2004
Given the significance of the 500cc F3 formula in post-war racing (rebirth of the sport; development of the rear-engine layout; Cooper, Moss, Collins, etc.) there is a real dearth of books on the subject.
At 35 pages, this was never going to be the definitive guide. But with stacks of photo's, this is a great little introduction to the basics of how the formula developed through the '40s and '50s. It covers the basic history, and highlights the characters (drivers and constructors) who featured, at the very least giving you ideas of where to find more information.

Well worth the cover price. The only reason I give it just three stars is that five would have to be the 500-page definitive history.
