The description of the rich events of the entire event is supplemented by a number of original photographs and the results of individual categories. The publishing house GRADA is preparing a book on the aforementioned international competition, which, guided by the profound idea of an anti-fascist Europe, demonstrated the unified position of the participating states.

Jiří Franek, local authority for Ostrava, prepared a regional commemoration of the road motorcycle races in Opava. It is a part of the republic that has a rich sports history, but the media has received minimal information from there. We thank the author for significantly expanding his knowledge. And finally, the treat of the month of September - Zlin 1947, Miloslav Straka prepared a memory of the first on eight pages six-day motorcycle competition held in our republic. The text contains a hint of the international situation at the time, domestic concerns and descriptions of individual stages – all supplemented by a number of original photographs. The author sensitively captured the pivotal sporting event. In the following year, a number of prominent personalities did not get to lead the national team for political reasons. The calendar of events and the advertising section for buying and selling will tell readers that the September reading is over.
