This richly illustrated book traces the history of many circuits, many of which fallen into oblivion, and that flourished in France especially before the war and during the 1950s, a period when every major city aspired to organize its own Grand Prix: for sport, but also for positive effects on commerce and general image.
Drivers like Fangio, Sommer, Moss or Beltoise were the stars of these races, which brought huge crowds of enthusiasts and admirers.
In this book, you will find the history of these circuits, sometimes extemporary, other times permanent, which animated many French cities.
