About the Book

This recreation of a unique original work features on-the-spot reports of Donington Park's early car race meetings from 1933 to 1939 - many written by Bill Boddy OBE, the founder editor of Motor Sport magazine - including race results, lap times and more. Descriptions include not just race reports, but also a fascinating picture of a bygone era. Even in those early days, the meetings attracted in excess of 30,000 people while the cars competed on the part loose-surfaced track, most of which followed the line of the horse carriage tracks of the historic Donington Hall. The circuit was originally opened in 1931 for motorcycle racing, but it was because of the phenomenal success of the car race, culminating in the Grands Prix of 1935 to 1938, that the circuit had to be extended several times in those pre-war years. These reports create fabulous word pictures of Donington Park's pre-war car race meetings, making this book an essential buy for any enthusiast of motor sport history.
About the Author: Bill Boddy was editor of MotorSport from 1934 for some 50 years. He first went to Brooklands Track in 1927 and was with Brooklands Track & Air for two and half years from 1931. Bill wrote five books about it, the last going to three editions and now in new MRP history and he also wrote for aviation magazines. He was employed by MAP at Farnborough for the duration of WW2, on Air Publications, and is still a regular contributor to MotorSport as its founder editor.
