Summary
Details

Saloon Car Sundays: A History of Britain's Premier Touring Car Series is an independently produced motorsport history that charts the rise, drama, and reinvention of Britain's best-known touring car championship from its post-war saloon-car roots to the hybrid era. Covering the formative years of Jack Sears, the giant-killing Mini battles, the Ford Sierra RS500 years, the Super Touring boom, the Vauxhall, Honda, BMW, Ford, MG, Nissan, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Toyota and Subaru eras, and the modern rise of drivers such as Jason Plato, Colin Turkington, Gordon Shedden, Tom Ingram, and Ash Sutton, it tells the story in a flowing, accessible narrative designed for general readers and dedicated racing fans alike.

This book explores the technical rule changes, manufacturer rivalries, circuits, personalities, and defining controversies that turned a national saloon-car series into one of Britain's most enduring motorsport institutions. From Brands Hatch and Donington Park to Knockhill and Thruxton, it captures the sound, speed, and theatre of touring car racing while also examining the mechanics, engineers, pit crews, and supporters who helped sustain it across decades of change.
