More than 120 years of motorsport: stories, triumphs and tragedies, sensational innovations, rapid progress, and grandiose dead ends. The History of Motorsport gives a gripping and informative rundown of the colourful world of motor racing, with its trailblazing technical developments and its greatest series and races. The book begins with the first Grand Prix in motor-racing history, and takes readers on a journey through the decades all the way to FIA Formula E.

In den 30er-Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts wurde von der nationalsozialistischen Obrigkeit verlangt, dass jeder Bürger seine Abstammung in einem sogenannten Arier-Nachweis ausweist. Dies war für praktisch jeden in Deutschland der Anlass und auch die Pflicht sich mit seinen Vorfahren zu beschäftigen. Für Otto Herrmann Haug, der Pfarrer war, bedeutete dies viele Anfragen nach ihren Ahnen von Bürgern und Gemeindegliedern aus den Kirchenbüchern zu beantworten. Auch die Erforschung seiner eigenen Vorfahren und die seiner Frau musste daneben erledigt werden. Dies war für ihn der Startschuss für weitergehende Forschungen, die immer mehr zu seiner Passion wurden und ihn bis ins hohe Alter beschäftigten. Heraus kam das vorliegende Werk, das er nach streng wissenschaftlichen Regeln erstellt hat.
