Endurance and road racing

I used to love reading magazines and books about cars. These days — well, for the past decade at least — my hunger for automotive bits come mostly from classic car dealers like Simon Kidston, Maxted-Page, DK Engineering, and Max Girardo, and various auction houses.

Their online published stories are packed with info, very well documented, professionally written and gloriously photographed. Because of high standards it has to be historically correct and organized to bits. These articles are a treat to read and also to discuss, as parties mentioned are keen to share their thoughts and answer questions. Well, I manage so why can’t you?

To keep everything within reach, I’ve put together a handy ‘bookshelf’ of bookmarks — for my convenience and yours. Maybe schedule a longer-than-usual tea break or block a time-slot to dive into history.
