Book Review
Review from Startline magazine, February 2007
Well known author and former editor of Motor Sport Magazine, Bill Boddy MBE, has produced the only English language record of this important French motor racing circuit. This completely remade edition is updated from the original Montagu Motor Books edition, long since out of print. The book covers five French Grand Prix from 1925 to 1937, the top drivers and their cars. Also detailed is a description of the famous banked track, the races and the record bids; all of which is accompanied by some wonderful images. The foreword was written by racing driver and record breaker, the late George Eyston OBE, MC. This is a fantastic historical look back at the former home of French racing.

Review by Mike Goodbun for Classic Cars, April 2007
Boddy's excellent comprehensive history of racing at Paris circuit Montlhery was first published in 1961, so pick this up if you missed it. Its 232 pages include a brief extra chapter on racing at Montlhery from '61 until it closed in 1973, but sadly it barely acknowledges the historic meets that were held there until the site was closed to the public in 2004.
