The titanic struggles of early, heroic motor racing when reliability was rare and danger ever-present for competitors and spectators. Recounts the town-to-town races that were eventually superseded , with much loss of life in 1903 by the more controllable races round a circuit of closed roads, like the Gordon Bennett and early Grand Prix in Europe and Grand Prize and the Vanderbilt cup races in the US plus the rugged, Targa Florio and so many more up tot the outbreak of world war 1. 246 pages.Very good clean book and jacket.
