Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motor sport from the B.A.R.C. Circuit at Thruxton.

The Lotus Formula One car which will be on the grid at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend represents seven decades of motor racing development since the Canstadt Daimler of 1898. Why has the Grand Prix car grown so far apart from the family saloon? How did an amateur sport become involved in big business and national prestige?
Ronald Barker, Tony Brooks, Michael Frostick, Innes Ireland and Robin Richards look for some answers at the wheel of the Itala and Napier of 1908, the Straker Squire of 1918, the Type 35 Bugatti of 1928, the Mercedes of 1938, the B.R.M. of 1948, and the Vanwall of ten years ago.
