Motor Books - Kings of the Nurburgring |
 | | The Nurburgring career of each driver is examined in detail, drawing on the race reports and feature articles of the time, autobiographies, biographies and, in the case of the seven surviving Kings, their personal reminiscences of the fabulous circuit they made their own. |
 | | Kings of the Nurburgring has its genesis in Nixon's earlier work, the highly-acclaimed Racing The Silver Arrows, which described the Golden Age of Grand Prix Racing during the years 1934 to 1939, when the circuits of Europe echoed to the thunderous roar of the cars of Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union. |
 | | Although Kings of the Nurburgring is primarily about the drivers who excelled there, it begins with the fascinating story of how the circuit came into being, thanks to the foresight, drive and charisma of one man, Dr Otto Creutz. |
