From land-speed record-breakers to unforgettable rivalries, buckle up for an exhilarating ride through the evolution of motorsport with Blue Peter Award winning author David Long.
When automobiles arrived in Britain in the 1890s, Queen Victoria was among the many who thought they were noisy, smelly machines. By 1906, the first Grand Prix was speeding through the French countryside, igniting a global passion for motorsport.
From daring land-speed record attempts on salt flats and windswept beaches to the hair-raising laps of Brooklands, Silverstone and Nürburgring’s “Green Hell”, David Long steers readers through the stories of the drivers, engineers and nations who risked everything for victory.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
