Three's a Crowd
A Pictorial History of the First Twenty Years of British Formula 3
Take a nostalgic journey through the first two decades of British Formula 3, from its beginnings in 1964 through the exciting and ever-changing world of the 1960s and 1970s.
Three's a Crowd is a beautifully illustrated history celebrating the drivers, teams and personalities that made Formula 3 one of the most fiercely contested junior racing categories in the world. As Formula 3 evolved through changing regulations, increasing commercial sponsorship and growing international competition, it became the proving ground for future motorsport stars.

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Britain, this book captures not only the racing but also the era itself, with a wealth of fascinating photographs and stories from one of the sport's most memorable periods.

As costs, regulations and economic challenges threatened the future of the championship, Formula 3 continued to deliver thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing, emerging stronger than ever and cementing its place in motorsport history.

Also included is a bonus CD-ROM featuring The Likely Lads – The First 20 Years, an invaluable archive of Formula 3 results covering British, French and major international races.

A fantastic addition to the collection of any Formula 3 enthusiast, historic motorsport fan or automotive book collector.
