Serious omissions indicate that this is not the 'definitive' history it claims to be.
Between 1966 and 1977 there were 30 Brisca (British Stock Car Racing Association) Formula 1 meetings held at Brands Hatch. The cars raced on the circuit's undulating inner oval track. There is no mention of these meetings. The photograph (page 147) of Nicki Lauda urinating on some plastic binbags in the pits does not contribute to the notion that Chas Parker's book is, as described, a 'definitive history' of Brands Hatch. The inclusion of the 30 Brisca meetings, however, would certainly have gone some way towards helping this book earn it's 'definitive' title. The exclusion of 30 race meetings over a 10 year span leads me to wonder what else the author has left out.
