Brooklands, in its centenary year, is celebrated as a British institution of great importance to the history of car racing and aviation. But, as David Venables reveals in this glorious commemorative volume, the famous Surrey landmark, with its banked race circuit and aircraft manufacturing, hosted many other activities too, from motorcycle and bicycle racing to land speed records, not to mention stunts, wagers and even the odd scandal.

"...a wonderfully evocative book... worth it for the photographs alone."
The Daily Mail

“A deeply impressive work, with hundreds of wonderful sepia photographs, this is both a reference book and a visual treat”
Motor Sport

“Wonderfully Evocative”
The Daily Mail

    ROGER HART
    No one would ever confuse Motown with Monaco but in the 1980s the two cities had at least one thing in common: both were hosts to Grands Prix. In 1982 in an effort to showcase the home of Ford, G.M. and Chrysler as an international world-class city, community leaders lured the F1 circus into running a 2.5-mile course on the bumpy streets around Detroit's Renaissance Center. Aft...
