Description

The cars, the drivers, the circuits on which they raced and the individual events which made up the Grand Prix calendar, year by year, are recalled against a backcloth of constant technical development and achievement and dramatically changing political and promotional climates.

Hundreds of evocative photographs and circuit maps trace Grand Prix racing’s progression from the dusty, potholed roads of early 20th century Europe to today’s purpose-built tracks with their glass-like surfaces.

Magnificent exploded drawings of significant cars and engines record the technical transformation from the bucking and slithering monster cars driven by the likes of Nazzarro and Lancia to the aerodynamic masterpieces of today’s World Champions.

Hardback in generally very good condition for age, with good dust jacket.
