DESCRIPTION:
Around Europe lie a number of long forgotten monuments, wind swept and abandoned the derelict buildings and crumbling tarmac are all that remains of once great motor racing circuits. All photographed as they are now but remembered in their prime.. From the great speed bowls of Monza and Brooklands, to the parkland of Crystal Palace
FANTASTIC PICTURES - AWESOME READING Wonderfully written blending a good mixture of historical and current information. Very nice photo's showing historical tracks and racing, and how the track looks today. This would be a good book to take along with you if you were a historic track hunter. The research and f. Fantastic book for the motoring enthusiast/historian Amazon Customer Fantastic book, really interesting content, and contains a lot of tracks/circuits I didn't know about.. "Five Stars" according to Jan A.. just as good as I excpected
The Nürburgring Südschleife, Brooklands, Monza oval and AVUS are just a few of the tracks covered, all of which have interesting stories to tell.

The book is beautifully presented with pages of excellent photographs specially commissioned for the publication, as well as track diagrams and period race programmes. The back stories benefit from plenty of well-researched information and detailed histories. Finland had a particularly fine racing circuit in Keimola, but it fell into disuse and thus is one of the tracks t
