Thanks Liz.
I spent some pennies at a few local bookshops today.
Damon Hill - My Championship Year by er... Damon Hill
Behind the scenes With Benetton formula by Chris Bennett
Pole Position - The Inside Story of Williams-Renault by Jon Nicholson and Maurice Hamilton
Racing Stewart - The Birth of a Grand Prix Team by Maurice Hamilton and Jon Nicholson
All are secondhand (or is that preread?
) but in good condition. The four cost me an average of £14.24 each. A bit pricey?
Couldn't find any of those recommended here though, so I'll have to buy those new...
I'll let you know how good they are once digested!
(They look good from the pictures...
)
I did see one other while I was looking. Called "Five days of a Grand Prix" (Or something similar) by Nicholson and Parsons, it tells of the view of the Formula 1 Circus from the eyes of the locals, in this case, Monza (I think)
I didn't realize that poor local people gain access to the track after the race just to sift through the rubbish (One photo looked like a snapshot of what the holocaust might look like; Sooo much rubbish...) just to find food, money or even forgotten posessions or supporter paraphernalia which can be sold later.
I'm sure I thoght it
could happen, just never told it did. Quite sad...
A fascinating book, but I ran out of Groats.
