Description

In its day it was the longest, fastest and likely wildest international automobile race ever staged. A World Championship event along with Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, Nüburgring and the Tourist Trophy, most drivers considered it the best-and the worst-of them all.

From 1950 to 1954, it was witnessed by ten million spectators along a nearly 2,000-mile course that featured deserts where the faster cars could reach 180 mph and 10,000-foot mountain passes requiring first-gear operation.

1993 hardback first edition in generally good condition, green boards good and inside very clean. Dust jacket has a few scuffs and minor tears but fully intact, slight sunning to spine and light fading to front.
