Motor cars: general interest; Nostalgia: general; Motor rallying & rally driving
Reliving the joys of old-time motorsport race and rally cars.

This new book by motoring journalist Alan Anderson follows on from Going Classic, to explore the world of historic motorsport and race and rally cars from the 1950s to the 1990s. This vibrant new book looks back at those days, and presents fifty of the most successful classic race and rally cars from across this period, considering why these motoring legends still make front runners in historic motorsport, one of the fastest-growing, most enjoyable and affordable classes of motor racing. My Dad Raced One of Those is a nostalgic look back at classic cars in motorsport across the different disciplines of Race, Rally, Autotests, Hillclimbs, Trails and Rallycross, and should satisfy and intrigue both the classic car enthusiast and (especially historic) lovers of motorsport.
