I'm pretty proud to present this, since it's been about two years in the making (with some considerable gaps)
I've scoured dozens of German, Austrian and French sources to give the most complete and accurate picture of the inaugural 1921 Avus race meeting. Much of the text is based heavily on translations of the original German newspapers, so it retains its original flavour and excitement, but it has been adapted a little to correct for inaccuracies, misspellings of driver names and to get rid of some of the old-fashioned language and propaganda you find in these things.
The race reports are for the most part a lap-by-lap account and since I have the lap-charts, I've been able to cross-reference what happened and when, refining the details even further.
Finally I've been hunting around online, purchased a few original documents and collected nearly 100 photos from the meeting. I've had to identify most of them myself, since agencies like Getty have photos from other years labelled as 1921. Hope it's something you will all enjoy.
