Hi All, I have a question about racing yearbooks with results, specifically GP results.
I recently picked up a copy of the Motorcycling year book from 1951. I wasn't aware of this, but it seems to have been published between 1951 and 1961, as far as I can see. It has GP results and some selected home and international meets as well as "scrambles", speedway and trials. Of specific interest to me is that it contains the GP results for all classes beyond the top six points finishers (in most cases).
I want to know if there are any other yearbooks that cover the results for the 1960s. I know of Honda's one off Race for Leadership which documented the 1961 season. Ron Maggs' The history of world championship motorcycle racing vol 1 1949 - 1958 (sadly there appears to be no volume 2 forthcoming), Volker Rauch's Motorrad Weltmeisterschaft (in German) series starts in 1968, L'Annee Moto in 1970 (in French or 1974 in English), Motocourse in 1976. Maurice Bula's books cover all years, but only list points finishers, as do the FIM/MotoGP books (and they miss out defunct classes), SILs Motor Cycle guide 1974, which covers 1973 and finally the MCN yearbooks between 1975 - 1978 (again though only points finishers)
This leaves a gap from 1962 to 1967 for published results, showing finishers outside of the points.
Does anyone know if there is a book or series that cover this period?
