The Singapore Grand Prix ran from 1961–1973. The first event was called the Orient Year Grand Prix and held on a stretch of Upper Thomson Road that encompassed the Sembawang Hills Circus and a section of Old Upper Thomson Road. The Singapore Grand Prix was by no means a single-seater procession, and included the Saloon & Tourer, and Sports & GT, car support races, along with the highly popular races for motorcycles. The book chronicles the 13 golden years of Grand Prix racing in Singapore, with an appendix of lap records and race winners for all the classes of racing.

Snakes & Devils traces the turbulent history of the Singapore Grand Prix and tells the story in a pictorial chronological format that is both entertaining and engaging. Through extensive research and copious interviews with drivers, sponsors and organisers across three continents, author Eli Solomon has produced the authoritative guide to the original Singapore Grand Prix. Included in this volume are rare archival and private photographs, many of which have never been published before.

Includes forewords by three-time World Formula 1 Champion, Sir Jack Brabham O.B.E, O.A., and the last Singaporean to win the coveted Singapore Grand Prix, Rodney Seow.
