Text / Sprache: Englisch, Mirco De Cet, Formula One Race Circuits. The changing architecture of race tracks. Singapore and Valencia Street Circuits included. Formula One motor racing is one of the world's premier sports and has a global following. In pursuit of the World Championship, the dedication of the competitors - of drivers and teams alike - must be total. Big reputations and huge amounts of money are at stake. Such a sport deserves the most up-to-date stadiums and the best-designed circuits. Over the past few years, motor racing venues have undergone enormous changes. Many rather basic, down-at-heel tracks have been upgraded to create sleek new circuits, while elsewhere giant, hi-tech arenas have been built that can house many thousands of spectators. Formula One Race Circuits presents a fascinating survey of race tracks past and present. Featuring useful maps, exciting photographs and a wealth of anecdotes and information, it shows how the twists and turns of the world's great race tracks have shaped the history of motor racing itself.

About the Author

Mirco de Cet was born in a small village in the Dolomite Mountains north of Venice, Italy. His interest in vehicles began at an early age, when he saw people going about their business on small cylinder machines known as 'motorino'. In the 1950s Mirco moved to England, where he worked in a well-respected automobile franchise. At this point his love of both cars and motorcycles really took off, and he was invited to work on a car magazine. He has a passion for anything mechanical.
