For a hundred years some of motorsport's greatest drivers and cars have tested their power at Shelsley Walsh, the Midland Automobile Club's famous speed hillclimb course in rural Worcestershire. Here - packed with atmospheric details, archive photography and a directory of records - is the inspiring story of the oldest motor sporting venue in the world that is still operational. In this era of commercialism, Shelsley still stands for sportsmanship, hard-fought but friendly contests, and motor sport purely for fun.
