MOTOR RACING AT THRUXTON IN THE 1980S
One of the fastest motor racing circuits in the UK, Thruxton is a supreme test of high speed skill - especially where the art of slipstreaming is concerned. Consequently, it is both feared and revered.
The circuit is home to the prestigious British Automobile Racing Club, and during the period covered by this book the author was editor of the club’s magazine. As a result, he was able to get behind the scenes at many of the events, including F2, British Touring Cars, Aurora AFX F1, and club races.
In the 1980s Thruxton featured in the early careers of many Formula One drivers, and the book records the early performances of such luminaries as Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Derek Warwick, Alan McNish, Mike Thackwell, Mika Häkkinen, and many more.
Featuring many previously unpublished photographs from the author’s personal collection, this is an insightful account of racing at one of the fastest motor racing circuits in the UK.
Motor Racing at Thruxton in the 1980s - in the series Those were the days … - has 96 pages and more than 100 images.
