Customer Reviews

Nice Idea, Well Executed
This is just one from a great series of books on motor sport in years past (the exception being the BTCC).

Good use of images and informative extended captions mean it is easy to browse and you will learn something each time. Background details from a clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic author bring the machines, personalities and period to life.

The Epi -tome of 60's International Sportscar Racing
A super collection of photographs covering the whole spectrum of the 60's major sportscar events with both familiar and lesser know cars from Chaparral to Downton Mini (a Targa Florio entry). Complemented by a very literate and informative text, this took me straight back to events I attended in the 60s, reminded me of things I'd forgotten - and taught me lots of things I never knew! If you were there you'll certainly like it and if you weren't you must get it to see what fabulous cars, drivers and races you've missed and, though we didn't appreciate it at the time, how blooming primitive things were in the good old days.
