Donington Park: The Pioneers

Eighty years ago this month Tazio Nuvolari competed in his first major race on the British mainland. Coinciding with the anniversary is this special book about the pioneers who created Britain’s first permanent true road racing circuit…firstly for motor cycles in 1931 and then also for cars from 1933. Researched, written and designed by John Bailie, the book includes many new photographs, plus documents, maps and diagrams, unique then-and-now images, illustrations by the author, personal anecdotes and memories, together with extracts from on-the-spot race reports by Bill Boddy MBE, founding editor of Motor Sport. 

Available as hardback in standard edition and also as a Special Anniversary Limited Edition.
