I\u2019m perched on the almost impossibly steep bend of the world\u2019s oldest racetrack, contemplating the existence of the world\u2019s fastest ghost. Brooklands, near Weybridge in leafy Surrey, is now a rather fun museum full of old cars and planes, but it was once the first- ever purpose-built motor-racing course.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m with Mark Richardson, a tall, bespectacled writer and motorsports fan who\u2019s been coming here since he was a kid. Mark very definitely doesn\u2019t believe in ghosts, and yet, he thinks he saw one, right on this very spot.<\/p>\n
