GREAT AUCLUM NATIONAL SPEED HILL CLIMB 1938-1974
Imagine an era where motorsport wasn’t just about decibels and stopwatches, but a sophisticated, high-octane "garden party".
Great Auclum National Speed Hill Climb 1938-1974 is far more than a book: it is a time machine that transports you back to the heart of Berkshire, along a country estate’s winding driveway transformed into a legendary battlefield.
Spanning over 400 pages of vivid storytelling and featuring hundreds of previously unseen photographs, Stephen Lovegrove brings to life thirty years of passionate research.
You can almost smell the castor oil and burnt rubber as icons like Stirling Moss, Bruce McLaren, and Colin Chapman defy gravity on one of the shortest, most technical tracks in the British Championship. From the heart-stopping downhill start to the iconic banked corner, every page breathes the audacity of an era where grit mattered as much as horsepower.
A monumental tribute, exquisitely bound, for anyone who wishes to hear the echo of those engines once more through the woods of Burghfield Common.
