Synopsis
Following the success of its sister volume, which covered the 1970s, this book features anothr classic era as Forumla 1 - attracting growing interest via TV - became a mainstream sport. The 1980s saw the emergence of McLaren and Williams as the dominant teams. Normally aspirated engines gave way to more powerful turbocharged units, before the regulations changed in 1989 to favour non-turbo motors again. The defining drivers were Gilles Villeneuve, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. The 1980s saw the demise of the privateer entrants as technology and costs escalated.

A "must buy"5
A brilliant compilation of high quality and artistic photographs of the era. Each photo is backed by concise but interesting text as well as each year having a summary and a page showing results.

Highly recommended

If you like this format then "Formula 1 in camera 1970-1979" is just as good.

If you're interested in this era (the 80's) try "The turbo era" by Alan Henry. Excellent
