British Touring Car Racing

Born in London, Peter Collins has been a motoring journalist and photographer for over 20 years. He has a lifelong interest in motorsport and racing history and has been attending events worldwide since 1965. Co-founder and editor-at-large of Auto Italia magazine, he also contributes to American and other European magazines, as well as websites. This is his fourth book. Peter now lives in South London with his wife, Liz and cat, Teddy, and travels extensively throughout the year covering motoring events of all disciplines and maintaining his close ties with racing people of all persuasions. This book is the result of a long-held passion for saloon car racing.
