This magnificent book, originally published in 2013 and now comprehensively

Club (BRDC) and Silverstone Circuits Ltd, this is the last word on the history
of the much-loved home of British motor racing, from its beginnings in the
aftermath of the Second World War to its status now as a world-class motorsport
venue.
