Description
The Places They Raced: Circuits of the Golden Age
WE’RE big fans of the style of this book, which simply has great pictures of pre-1918 circuit racing – be they photographs, slides or postcards – as well as brief captions. It’s an interesting look into the ‘golden age’ of racing.
European city to city races, Gordon Bennett Trophy
Consisting only of pre-WWI postcards of Renaults, Brasiers, Napiers and the like slithering over rutted muddy road circuits, this little hardback conveys the raw nature of early racing in spades. Many shots show the roads on non-race days, cluttered with chickens, bicycles and dog-carts, making it tempting for cartophiles to do some Google Earthing.
