Im not a huge reader of books because i simply dont have the time and if I have spare time Im usually here reading what you all have to say on things that matter in the world of motorsport.

anyway I have a copy of the 1997 grand Prix data book and was wondering if anyone else did as well...I know Gerard has a copy ..but it is an amazing book written by david hayhoe and david holland and covers every race form 1950 up until the end of 1997..it is 567 pages long which doesnt sound much bt what is packed into it is amazing from every driver and what they did in F1 to little trivia pieces like who has the most failures to qualify..has a great anniversary section as well from which i got alot of the info you see on the ten tenths anniversary section ..every race is listed with grid positions to race finish and even why a car retired.

its a great book if ya dont have go and get it..you wont be dissapointed.
