Mark Glendenning takes a look at 'Autodrome' by Sam Collins, and also lands a copy of the new McLaren historical opus
The middle part of June was one of those periods where you're even more grateful than usual that someone has seen fit to pay you to go to motor races. First there was Le Mans; a race that, from a journalist's point of view, is exhilarating and exhausting in vaguely equal parts.
Upon returning to England there was just enough time to get the laundry washed and dried - I'd have been screwed if it had rained that day - before getting back into the car and pointing it in the direction of France for the second time in a week. Destination: Magny-Cours.
