Description: The Glory Of Goodwood is the definitive story of the spirit of Goodwood, produced with the full co-operation of the Earl of March and his team. The book reveals the tale of how the perimeter track round a former Battle of Britain RAF base became one of the world's classic racing circuits, and describes its vital role in the post-war dominance of British motor racing.
 
Goodwood personalities have contributed their own cherished memories, including Sir Jack Brabham on his first race at the circuit, Jackie Stewart on being discovered there, and Stirling Moss on his most unforgettable racing moments. Derek Bell recalls his youthful experiences as a Goodwood course marshal, while Damon Hill describes returning to the circuit where his father had taken him as a child.
