In 1894, when the motley assortment of steam and petrolpowered vehicles lined up at the start of the trial from Paris to Rouen, motorracing's colourful history was launched.Many of the pioneering events were deathdefying, transcontinental marathons, in which the competitors were obliged to negotiate basic dirt tracks, muddy bogs, fastflowing rivers, overzealous policemen and a seemingly ednless supply of stray dogs. Barely contained in this new hardback edition are 80+ bizarre, brilliant and bonkers stories from over a century of motor racing. They include the Frenchman who drove 25 miles in reverse; the Grand Prix where the leading drivers were so far ahead that they stopped for a meal in the pits; the Le Mans 24hour race won by a car patched up with chewing gum; and the driver who drunk six bottles of champagne on the way to winning the Indianapolis 500.Word count: 45,000
