This is the story of motor racing as it once was, from the early days to the fifties; the story of those Olympians who bestrode the track - from Jenatzy and Boillot, Campbell and Caracciola, to Ascari, Fangio and Moss - and of their cars - the Alfas, Mercedes, Maseratis and Ferra...
From the earliest days of motoring, car manufacturers used motor sport as a proving ground for the machines, but the sport earned an image far beyond that of a mere engineering laboratory. Even before the 20th century dawned, motor racing had a reputation as an arena where almost gladiatorial battles were set before a public only recently accustomed to seeing a motor car of any kind.

This is the story of motor racing as it once was, from the early days to the fifties; the story of those Olympians who bestrode the track - from Jenatzy and Boillot, Campbell and Caracciola, to Ascari, Fangio and Moss - and of their cars - the Alfas, Mercedes, Maseratis and Ferraris - giants all of another, more compelling age.
