Motor-racing's strangest races : extraordinary but true stories from over a century of motor racing

The first motor-race from Paris to Rouen took place in 1894. Many of the pioneering events were death-defying, trans-continental marathons, in which the competitors faced basic dirt tracks, muddy bogs, fast-flowing rivers, over-zealous policemen and an endless supply of stray dogs. Gathered here are bizarre stories from over a century of motor racing.
