The unfulfilled dream - the story of motor racing at AintreeBy Tony Bagnall, foreword by Roy SalvadoriThe story of motor racing at the Aintree circuit has been expertly told in a new book published on 10 November 2004. Written by Tony Bagnall from South Wirral, the book tells the full story of the circuit that hosted the British Grand Prix in the 1950s and 1960s. In it's heyday, drivers like Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Juan Manuel Fangio and Jack Brabham raced at the Liverpool track and the story of those famous races is retold in detail, supported by nearly 200 rare and largely unpublished photographs from John Holroyd.The British Grand Prix was held there five times, along with many other major events at the venue that shared its ground with the famous horse-racing track.But in April 1964, the final Aintree 200 was run and the sights and sounds of Grand Prix racing were never to be experienced at Aintree again. Club and national level racing continued until July 1982, when it ceased altogether. So what is the story behind the dramatic rise and fall of Aintree as a premier motor sport venue in Britain? How and why did motor racing come to be staged there? What caused its eventual demise as a circuit? Tony Bagnall's book explores the fascinating history of Aintree, before during and after its all-too-brief reign as Britain's Grand Prix venue. This book fills a significant gap in the history of post-war motor racing in Britain.Priced at £20 (plus £3.50 P&P UK), the hard-back book is available on-line at tfmpublishing.com or by calling 01952 510382.
