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 Lochot\u00edn were very significant and famous racers regularly started in them.
\nThe 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, Kdy\u0148, 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 Luk\u0161\u00edk, Alb\u00edn Patlejch, V\u00e1clav Pauer, Josef Sloup, Franti\u0161ek Sutnar, Miloslav Vali\u0161. The book is complemented by circuit maps, period, previously unpublished photographs and, as is traditional, results reports.<\/p>\n
