Bonvier, there is a book coming out in June called Autodrome - it covers the history of Brooklands and has some really good photography of the place today. It should contain pretty much everything you want to know as a casual type. But the boo covers nine abandoned circuits - whereas TimD's (which I will no doubt be buying) is dedicated to Brooklands
Francesca - the above contains the story of both the ghosts - or loiter in the chat room and I'll start telling scary stories... I got some great qoutes from a local who claimed to have had a run in with it...
BTW the earliest closed course motor race I know of was in 1899 at Crystal Palace. My book on that topic is out in a few weeks.
See amazon (or ads/competition to appear on this site soon) for more details.
