I find this interesting. I don't know if there's a thread here @ TNF specifically for motorsports during WWII but there should be. I've seen snipits of reports but it would be nice to see a compilation in a dedicated thread.

Yes there is - can't remember its name though, sorry

It's called Motor sport during WW2. Boniver's opened two identical threads and I replied on the other one ....

Super! Thanks for that link, Speedy2. I'll be busy reading for the next little bit.
