A RECORD OF GRAND PRIX AND VOITURETTE
RACING
This series is like no other history of Motor Racing that has ever been published. Each volume is a reference book, which together with the other editions gives a complete documentary and statistical record of Grand Prix, Voiturette, Formula 1 and Formula 2 motor racing from 1900 until 1994 in thirteen volumes. They contain no illustrations for two reasons. Firstly, excellent pictorial records of Grand Prix racing are already widely available. Secondly the inclusion of pictures would add substantially to the cost of the books.
Despite the scholarly nature of the work, many readers have described the narrative in the books as very readable and many claim to have read the books from cover to cover.
After a preface summarising the period of a volume, each year is covered in order. Every known race run to Formula 1 and Formula 2 rules is covered in great detail. A full entry list with starting numbers and chassis numbers (where known) is given. The starting grid with practice times is given with full results, retirements and so on. In addition, a lap chart is given for the more important races including almost all the World Championship races. The work is full indexed.
The series comprises eleven volumes.
