This edition covers the Motoring News Rally Championship during the years 1961 to 1965.
Some 590 pages in length it contains details of every “MN” rally held during that period, the text being accompanied by over 150 black and white photographs many of which have never been seen before. All 91 rally results are listed together with many full entry lists, organiser’s rally results and route details.
Around 1850 individual drivers’ names are included in the book and through this period there were over 7500 crews listed as starters.
The Foreword is written by Roy Fidler, a top driver of that era and one of the earliest supporters of the Championship, while the Introduction is written by Stuart Gray, a consistant and successful navigator during this same period.
Memory Lanes …the beginning follows Memory lanes ..the early years and Memory Lanes …revisited and completes the ONLY full record of the MN Championship series between 1961 and 1973.
This book will ensure that this period is not forgotten, with its detailed coverage of 91 events and mentions of more than 3500 individual drivers, navigators and officials in its 580 pages. Together with Memory Lanes …revisited and Memory Lanes …the early years Peter Robinson has now covered, in similar detail, every MN rally between the Championship’s commencement in 1961 through to the end of 1973 and is a comprehensive and much needed record of an important element of British motorsport history.
