Grand Prix Circuits: A Tour of Formula 1 Circuits from Starting Grid to Chequered Flag by Alan Henry a short widely illustrated book on various racetracks from around the world. These were the circuits used in the 1998 F1 season. Each entry consists of a quote from a driver a short history of the track including changes and famous races. There is some discussion of the history of formula 1 racing in a particular country. Finally some analysis of areas to pass and famous corners.
It was quite interesting to read the analysis. Henry is perfectly willing to criticize the modern tendencies in track design. The movement to take away the personality of circuits. I tend to agree with his assessment. I quite enjoyed the book.
Recommended.
Is available through AbeBooks.
