Brooklands The Complete Motor Racing History

Product description

This comprehensive history of the famous Brooklands Motor Course at Weybridge, in Surrey, covers its construction, the 28 season of motor racing, record-breaking and speed testing which took place from 1907 until the outbreak of the Second World War, and its emergency from postwar neglect and decay to its current status as a sympathetically restored venue steeped in nostalgia and a mecca for all motor sporting and aviation enthusiasts. The acknowledged foremost Brooklands historian and authority, “W B” takes his readers through every race of importance organized by the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club, quoting land speeds and results from the official archives of the club.
