From trials on muddy hillsides to fierce wheel-to-wheel battles at Brands Hatch, Autosport's Backyard tells the definitive story of how Britain became the heartland of amateur motorsport. This meticulously researched, narrative-driven history follows the rise of club racing from its Edwardian roots to the digital era, profiling the circuits, clubs, machines, and people who made it possible. Through thirty vivid chapters, the book explores how backyard specials, working-class ambition, and volunteer passion transformed motorsport from a gentleman's diversion to a national grassroots movement. It traces the growth of iconic series, reveals the crucial role of airfield circuits and governing bodies, and celebrates the unsung mechanics, marshals and racers who kept the paddock buzzing. Whether you're a lifelong competitor or a curious fan, this is the untold story of British racing not on the world stage, but at the local track-where the real spirit of motorsport lives.
