Motor racing, at all its many levels, is one of the most popular spectator sports in the world. More than a million people flock to watch the World Championship races of each year, fought out by highly sophisti-cated Formula i cars and the most talented drivers of their day on circuits from Buenos Aires in Argentina, through Long Beach on America's West Coast, and across to Europe and the classic venues such as Monte Carlo. In addition to Grand Prix racing, sports cars, grand touring cars, production saloon cars, and a bewildering array of 'proper' single-seater racing car classes are raced in all parts of the world, from up near the Arctic Circle in Finland and way down in the southern hemi-sphere at Invercargill in the South Island of New Zealand. Motor Racing in Colour tells you who Gordon Bennett really was, what Formula i actually means, how a car is 'set up', what a 'flat 12' is, and much more. It covers a truly exciting sport, from its origins through the great names, the famous tracks and the technical innovations to the modern world-wide scene. Additional to a lively text is a wealth of statistics on the championships and the drivers, as well as line drawings of the great circuits, plus photo-graphs of cars, events and person-alities. All of this is complemented by 64 pages of colour which include 1o6 full colour photographs. Doug Nye is a leading authority on the world of motor racing and author of many books on the subject. In addition, he is European correspon-dent and a regular contributor to motor sport publications around the world.
