A fascinating story of perseverance, technical ingenuity and courage.
This a wonderful book, that could grace an occasional table or enhance the collection of any committed motor enthusiast. The book of over 170 pages contains 160 beautiful illustrations of cars and their drivers from 1898 to the 21st Century. The author has clearly researched the vehicles in some depth and provides technical details, as well as personal details of the drivers. It was not just a race against speed but a race against other drivers. The book is written in an inclusive style that will be enjoyed by a casual reader as much as a racing enthusiast. This book would make a wonderful present for the holiday season.
