This handsome volume provides a detailed account of Aston Martin's fascinating and chequered motor racing history. Clearly setting out its evolution through various ownerships, the author recalls the company's diverse racing record, which began in 1919 and ran uninterrupted - war years apart - until 1963. The modern era is also covered, as Aston Martin returned to sports car racing in 2005 with the DBR9. Superbly illustrated throughout, this book records with authority the successes and failures of one of the giants of British sports car racing.
