How do you lose a race track? According to this stunning book, it's quite easy. Hundreds of monumental circuits have fallen by the wayside but Collins chooses to study nine of Europe's faded heroes in depth, presenting program covers and event posters by way of a fascinating homage to the now eerie locations.

Featuring simply immaculate, evocative and sometimes oddly haunting photographs from Gavin D Ireland, this shows pictures of the tracks as they are now (usually forgotten, neglected and in need of repair) but lovingly recalls their glory days and associated stories. A true classic for the nostalgic motorist.
