Motorcycle Passion
by Michael Köckritz, editor
A big, juicy book. Lots of photos. Interesting layouts and typefaces. It’s easy to put this book down and think, Why? As in Why Bother? Not so fast.
Tracks – 6:11:13 – Nürburgring Nordschleife
by Stefan Bogner & Thomas Jäger
You’ve probably heard of the northern loop of this fabled German racetrack but you probably don’t know every one of its 73 corners and everything between them. Here you’ll see it all, in 100-yard increments. Start your engine!

Formula 1 Portraits: Gli anni sessanta/The Sixties
by Gianni Cancellierii
Drumroll: photos that have never before been published! And really good photos they are too. What can be said about the 1960s that hasn’t been said before? This author weaves candid shots into his overall exposition of a wild time in racing.
Formula 1 2020/2022 – La tecnica/Technical Insights
by Paolo Filisetti
Chicken/egg: some people say it’s the team’s technical director who ought to be on the podium, not the driver. After all, and certainly in the modern era, even the best driver cannot win with poor tech. This book looks at three seasons of challenges/solutions.
Baillon Collection
by Rémi Dargegen
Looked at one car at a time, the Baillon Collection is interesting enough but it is the unique circumstances of it being found and brought to market that will forever make it the “find of the century.”
Alfa Romeo Prototipi 1948–1962
by Patrick Dasse
You’d think that in war-ravaged Italy those lucky guys who had gainful employment would keep their noses clean and beaver away at their assigned tasks and stretch their limited resources. But working too close to racing oil does funny things to people. Photos you haven’t seen of cars you may not have heard of is what’s in these two books.
Lamborghini, l’alchimie du style et de la performance
by Gautam Sen
Learn French—and save $200! Well, kinda. This is an abridged French version of the magisterial Dalton Watson opus in English. Covers almost all the same things but in less detail and fewer images. Still, a solid book!
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione – Spider
by Ivan Scelsa
Built in small numbers and for only a few years you’ve probably never seen an 8C in the flesh. Or even read about it—because this is the first book-length tour of the car and how it fits into the Alfa Romeo portfolio.
Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ
by Martin Übelher & Patrick Dasse
Lightweight but sturdy, streamlined aero, powerful engine, innovative chassis. A winner on paper and on the track. These five books cover every single car built and feature heaps of never before published material.
Il Mio Drake
by Lycia Mezzacappa
The Barber of Maranello tells all! Well, no, but the book does reveal an unknown side of the notoriously private Enzo Ferrari, not least because they saw each other six mornings a week.
