The North East has been a hotbed of motorsport since the early
years of the last century. In this book motorsport broadcaster and
journalist Larry Carter presents a selection of memorable
motorsport events, competitors, venues and personalities in the
region from the 1920s onwards. The circuit at Croft is justly
famous, witnessing the early days of stars such as James Hunt,
Barry Sheene, Niki Lauda and Wilson Fittipaldi, but the huge
variety of motorsports, both cars and bikes, in the region are
represented in this book, including circuit racing, rallying,
rallycross and trials. The North East has spawned many great racers
over the years, both men and women, some of whom died tragically
young, such as motorcyclist Ken Redfern and sidecar legend Mac
Hobson. Also included are famous clubs such as the Darlington &
District Motor Cub and lesser-known venues at Catterick military
base and Albemarle Barracks. This book is also a tribute to events
that have declined or disappeared - grass track racing, sand racing
on the Cleveland beaches, hill-climbs, scrambling, speedway and
stock car racing. Delving through archives, Larry Carter has
unearthed a fascinating collection of the most memorable
motor-sporting events and achievements of the last 100 years in the
North East which will appeal to all motorsport enthusiasts in the
area.
