Praise for the previous edition

‘A perfect petrolhead Christmas presentA beautifully collated collection of the 71 venues to have hosted an F1 race since 1950. It is a chance to revel in some of the great lost circuits.’ The Observer, Sports Writers Picks of 2015

“Racetracks have a life and personality of their own, and this book, beautifully conceived, reflects that fact.” New York Times

‘A petrol head’s dream’ Daily Star

‘This is a handsome tome. The diligence of [Hamilton’s] research is faultless and the result is an excellent book, complete with maps and statistics for the 71 tracks that have been used in F1.’ Guardian

‘For avid F1 fans as well as the casual viewer, [this] book is a chance to learn more about the often forgotten unsung heroes of F1.’ Planet F1
