Formula One Circuits from Above: 28 Legendary Tracks in High-Definition Satellite Photography Hardcover – October 7, 2014

I really enjoy watching F1 (at least when there's some close racing going on), but I rarely have a good sense of where the cars are on the track, which is a little like not knowing the down and distance in football. The tour of the track that Sky provides at the start of each broadcast helps, but it's not on the screen long enough for me to work out which corner is which.Enter this book. It gives you aerial views of every track in the F1 circuit, with all the corners, braking points, three timing zones, and lots more, all neatly labeled on the map. It also gives you the history of the track, including stories of how famous racers fared on this track. It's great. I look it over before race weekend, then have it open during practice so I can learn to recognize the corners by sight. Then, when it's race time, I can enjoy the race with a much better understanding of where the drivers are and where they might try to pull off a pass. It makes the race much more enjoyable.But wait! There's more! This is also a beautiful book. Large format with vivid, high-quality photographs. A real pleasure to the eye as well as the mind. Something that would be happy out on a coffee table.What's not to like? It's a winner at every race.

I bought this book as a gift and received it today. The photos are nice and I believe the recipient will enjoy it, however, I was disappointed that the outer sleeve was scratched up (with multiple scratches across the entire front side) and the upper right corner was a little crinkled and dented. As I need this for a gift it will not be returned but I wish it had been better packaged to avoid damage.

Great summary and overview of past and present F1 tracks. Each track has a small section explaining about the history of the track, an overhead shot of the track, a turn by turn guide for the tracks, and a highlight of driver accomplishments at each track. I have been enjoying it and it will make a great addition to my coffee table book collection! For what I paid it was a very good value!

My dad loves this book. Gave it to him as a present for Christmas and he was ecstatic!

Gave this as a gift to one of my best friends! He is an F1 aficionado and loved it! He was able to relate to all of the tracks and said it gave the perfect descriptions. Has amazing pictures and diagrams of the tracks.

This was a great gift for an up and coming Formula One fan

Great aerial imagery and turn by turn information for the F1 fan. Not all of the current tracks are in this book, but they have some cool ones from F1's history.

Son loved it for Christmas.

I bought this as a present for my F1 loving brother. I never know what to buy him and this time I decided to give him a book. He was thrilled with it and even though he only had a brief look when I was with him as he was pushed for time, he was really looking forward to dipping into it. It 's a really nice, interesting book with wonderful photos.

When this book case in the mail it was really good, it was amazing. It was Hard back with a cover. It was a little dented around the corner but I’m pretty sure that happened when it was in the mail. That is a really nice book.

A present for my husband which is happy with; he says it’s more than just circuits, there is other interesting information

Very good reference when watching F1 on tv.This was second purchase for my son.

Perfect for the F1 enthusiast!
