The Motor Cycling Club has, despite its name, long been synonymous with motor sports of all kind, including cars. This book traces its chequered history from its foundation in 1901, through the problems of the war years to the present day. The book looks at the epic London-Edinburgh-London run, the excitement of the Brooklands high-speed trials, and there is also detailed information on the current scene.
