The Unfulfilled Dream The Story Of Motor Racing At Aintree

Product description

For 11 years, the world’s leading drivers contested international races at the Aintree circuit on the outskirts of Liverpool. Fangio, Surtees, Clark, M oss, Hawthorn and many more were on the grid. So what is the story behind the dramatic rise and fall of Aintree as a premier motor sport venue in Britain? How and why did motor racing come to be staged there? What caused its eventual demise as a circuit? The book explores the fascinating history of Aintree, before during and after its all-too-brief reign as Britain’s Grand Prix venue. Supported by around 200 rare photographs, many never before published, this book fills a significant gap in the history of post-war racing in Britain.
