Goodwood in the sixties epitomised all that was good about the British motor racing scene. It was a circuit where anybody could have a go, and yet the established greats like Stirling Moss would be there too. It was a circuit where Minis rubbed shoulders with Ferraris and Ford Galaxies, MGBs diced with Triumph TRs and Morgans, and clubman''s races were as keenly fought as RAC Tourist Trophy events. Most of all Goodwood was accessible and informal: spectators with no special privileges could get really close to the action, examine the cars in the paddock, and meet the great drivers of the day.Tony Gardiner was a regular spectator at Goodwood before the popular Sussex track was forced to close in 1966. His fascinating photos remind us of an era of motor racing very different from today''s, and illustrate an amazing variety of machinery, from Lotus Cortinas to Aston Martin Zagatos.

This book truly represents an enthusiast''s view of the RAC Rally: allowing you to relive the events if you were there, or offering the next best thing if you weren''t. Tony always took a week of his annual leave to watch ''The RAC'', and reckons he covered more than 28,000 miles chasing rally stages around the country. Luckily for us, he always took his trusty Zenit camera and recorded hundreds of moments of RAC Rally action, each now frozen in time for posterity. These images, which have not previously been published, have an energy which brings the rally back to life and reminds us how far removed modern rallying is from the much simpler pre-WRC era.? For all who love the ''Rally of the Forests'' period of top level rallying, here is an incredibly involving evocation of three decades of great motorsport. All aspects of the event are covered including rare photos from manufacturers'' archives, rally documents (regulations, programmes, road books, crew notes), and a full colour cutaway illustration of a famous winning car.?This publication has full approval of the Royal Automobile Club and the Motor Sports Association.

Celebrating its centenary in 2005, the Brighton National Speed Trial is one of Britain''s oldest motor sport events and despite a few gaps throughout the years, they are the most consistent motoring event in the town''s history.The book focuses on the events that took place during the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. It covers the history, development and wide range of cars that have competed in the trials. The book also includes a complete list of fastest times recorded at the event, from the 1905 record time of 23 seconds for the flying start kilometre, to the time of 10.25 seconds for the standing quarter mile in 2003. Written by the professional illustrator, Tony Gardiner, it is the only book so far to cover the popular annual event, so is essential reading for anyone with an interest in this unique part of Britain''s sporting heritage. With over 140 colour photographs to thumb through, it''s an atmospheric account of the golden age of speed trials and an excellent book to have on your coffee table.
