GRAND PRIX Volume 16 & Junior Formulae 2009 – 2011

The Formula One Register has produced a new volume in its well-respected history of major single-seater racing, extending the period covered to 2009-2011.

Having decided to suspend the production of Yearbooks, we have looked afresh at the categories included in this volume of “A Record of Grand Prix and Voiturette Racing”. As we have previously observed, the old F1 – F2 – F3 structure of motor racing was eroded during the 21st century by the introduction of several competing classes, such as the Renault backed Formula Renault 3.5 which was a direct competitor to GP2, along with various series using old F3000 cars.

With motor racing more global than ever, it seems wrong to exclude a category simply because it did not run in Europe. Nor is it possible to distinguish what to include on the basis of a formula being the step below Formula 1 when drivers like Räikkönen were plucked straight from Formula Renault.

This volume (360 pages) therefore covers what we might for convenience call “big-engine” formulae (taking into account turbo charging) that are broadly equivalent to being the tier below Formula 1.

• F1, Indycar, GP2, F3000, Formula Nippon, Formula Renault 3.5, Superleague, A1GP, F2, Auto GP

The next tier, principally Formula 3, is available separately as a “small-engine” companion to the above book, this covers F3, GP3, Indy Lights, Formula Master and Toyota Racing Series. The format is the usual entry list, grid and results, amounting to over 400 pages. The book is printed to order and supplied hard-bound in black covers in the general style of our other publications, but customers should be aware that the standard of production may be a little below professionally printed standards.

This book costs £60 plus postage if ordered alone – but save £20 when ordering with Volume 16 using this page.
