Relive the most heart-pounding and decisive turning points in motorsport history with Moments That Made Racing History by veteran motoring journalist and former Sports Editor of The Motor, Rodney Walkerley. Released in 1959 as a key volume in the highly collectible Modern Sports Car Series, this vintage treasure brings to life nine historic race events where fate hung completely in the balance and a single moment redefined the sport forever.

Perfect for classic car enthusiasts and vintage motorsport collectors, this narrative spans over half a century of racing drama from 1902 through 1957. Walkerley provides an expert, era-specific chronicle of legendary events including the 1902 Gordon-Bennett Trophy (Paris to Innsbruck), the 1933 Tourist Trophy at the Ards Circuit, and the 1936 J.C.C. International Trophy. Richly illustrated with rare archival black-and-white photographs, sketches, and detailed racing accounts, this classic paperback beautifully preserves the dangerous thrill, mechanical triumphs, and sheer human courage of early twentieth-century auto racing.
