To give a concise overview of the extensive content, it is possible to write that the representative publication captures the author's dedication to the specific discipline of automobile racing, held with various variations up to the present day. The intention of the first year of the competition, which began to be prepared in the Autoklub na Opletalová in February 1933, was to promote the domestic automobile industry affected by the economic crisis. The description of the three pre-war years takes up two-thirds of the publication's content. Some of the original photographs of the competition cars were stored in the archives of the Technical Museum, photos of the prototypes were discovered quite by chance in an unused archive, another series of photographs were borrowed from family albums of generations that know the direct participants only from preserved oral memories. Details of the individual years are presented by copies of the period press. Several original photographs show factory cars that never participated in any other races or competitions; after the end of the first year of the "miles", they were destroyed by the manufacturer - they did not live up to expectations. The following pages describe the commemorative years starting in 1970, when there were already enough enthusiastic owners of historic vehicles across the country. The last part contains the lists of starters and the results tables of the pre-war years.
West Bohemian Races and Circuits is a continuation of memories of motor racing on city circuits and hillclimbs. It loosely follows on from the editions from Central and Northern Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Road races in West Bohemia began in the mid-1920s. They were considerably more modest than those in other parts of the country, but for example the famous races in Pilsen Lochotín were very significant and famous racers regularly started in them.
The first pre-war part deals not only with racing in Pilsen and the surrounding area, but also in the spa town of Karlovy Vary. The second part chronologically deals with post-war racing in a number of places, Cheb, Kdyň, Klatovy and Nepomuk. In the third separate part, you will get to know several excellent racers, designers and mechanics, whose names were famous throughout Europe in their time - Otto Krattner, Josef Lukšík, Albín Patlejch, Václav Pauer, Josef Sloup, František Sutnar, Miloslav Vališ. The book is complemented by circuit maps, period, previously unpublished photographs and, as is traditional, results reports.
Acceptable distances between populated places, as well as a good road network in Central Bohemia, have made it possible to write an interesting history of racing in this region. Long-distance races, hill races and city circuits began to be held here more than 110 years ago. In many towns, racing had only a fleeting existence and after the first year, no more followed (Kralupy nad Vltavou, Vlašim, Horoměřice, Roztoky u Prahy). However, there were places where racing took place for several decades (Městec Králové – 40 years; Kolín – 16 years; Mělník – 13 years). For each of the thirty-nine places, the authors found the exact race routes, information from the organizing activities and result lists with the names of competitors, both known and unknown, and spiced everything up with interesting facts from the period press. Witnesses will reminisce over the pages, and representatives of the younger generations will wonder where and on what roads the racers fought for supremacy.

Monograph of motorcycle racer Miroslav Špak
Road, as the queen of motorcycle sports, has the oldest world championship. In our country, the Czechoslovakian championship is proud of its founding date in 1954. During its existence, the composition of the cubic capacities gradually changed. Sidecars also appeared briefly in it. During the existence of the Czechoslovakian championship, more than 800 riders took turns as participants. The best of them managed to permanently write their names in the historical winners' tables. The aim of my story is to bring both witnesses and the younger generation closer to the atmosphere of the races by looking behind the scenes. The individual stories of people, mechanics, competitors and also organizers of motorcycle road races tell how attractive and dramatic those times were.
