So it is at Shelsley, which has seen many of the world's leading drivers, such as Stirling Moss, Hans Stuck and Rudi Caracciola, enthral huge crowds along the daunting narrow course, and where the Worcestershire countryside has echoed to the sound of open exhausts for a century.

Researched by Simon Taylor, with the help of key members of the Midland Automobile Club, The Shelsley Walsh Story is a beautiful book, packed with archive photographs and complete records. For enthusiasts it is, like Shelsley itself, unmissable.
