Can-Am Calendar 2013

Formula One at Watkins Glen: 20 Years of the United States Grand Prix, 1961–1980

by Michael Argetsinger

The author’s father brought F1 to The Glen and racing is the “family businesss.” This should be the book that has the best story to tell. It doesn’t.

Porsche by Mailander

by Karl Ludvigsen

Anyone with an interest in photography, and, of course, Porsche 356 race and road cars (especially 550 sports-racing Spyders) will find the many previously unpublished photos in this book irresistible.

Road Racing: Drivers of the 60’s and 70’s

by L Weldon & J Heimann

Once upon a time motor racing was purely a man’s sport. With rare exceptions, women weren’t allowed near the cars during the race. In photos from the ’30s it’s always raining and cold, and the men in the pits, invariably clad in long overcoats and ties, all seem to resemble Humphrey Bogart or Alfred Neubauer.

Motor Racing: The Pursuit of Victory 1930–1962

by Anthony Carter

Slightly smaller than its 2005/2007 predecessor—and also slightly cheaper; not at all to be taken for granted—this new book dials the clock farther back, to the 1930s. More specifically, the 1933–1939 racing years and then, interrupted by the war and its aftermath, the 1950–1962 era.

Sleeping Beauties USA: Abandoned Classic Cars & Trucks

by Bjoern Marek

Adding to the growing literature of photo documentaries about junked cars is this look at American (except for two) cars on—if not sometimes in—American soil. Written and partially photographed by a German journalist.

Legendary Race Cars

by Basem Wasef

McLaren, Lotus, Maserati, Ferrari—simply saying the names of the world’s great racecar makers is thrilling to their fans. The words sound fantastic on their own; still powerful even after all the years they’ve been household words.

Ferrari by Mailander

by Karl Ludvigsen

This seemingly cost-no-object book is betting that its target audience is astute enough to appreciate great photography, outstanding layout, superb photo selection and willing enough to chuck out $125 for the privilege of ownership.

Races, Faces, Places: The Motor Racing Photography of Michael Cooper

by Paul Parker

This is the sort of book you pick up in an idle moment—and hours later wonder where the day has gone. Both in terms of photographic technique and storytelling there is much, much to discover here.
