The Fred Opert Story
by Peter R. Hill
If your team’s alumni include, inter alios, Keke Rosberg, Didier Pironi, Tom Pryce, Patrick Tambay and Alan Jones, you really deserve a biography of your own. And now, thanks to Peter Hill, Fred Opert finally has one.
Ferrari 333 SP, A Pictorial History 1993–2003
by Terry O’Neil
The most successful Ferrari ever run in Prototype racing was only ever campaigned by privateers. And only 40 were built. Of which only 27 raced. Why are there no serious books about this?? Well, now there is.
Formula 1: All The Races – The First 1000
by Roger Smith
That this book about 1000 races is limited to 1000 numbered copies is of course merely to be cute—but it is a crying shame. Bristling with data but eminently user-friendly it deserves much wider circulation!
First Principles: The Official Biography of Keith Duckworth OBE
by Norman Burr
He was behind the most successful engines in racing history, and his company, Cosworth, became a major player. He had the complex personality that seems inseparable from such overachievement, and this book, at last, tells the story.
Sporterfolge
by Tony Adriaensens
Sporting Successes indeed. Porsche is no stranger to them but that’s not really where the success of this quite unique book comes in. It’s photos, hundreds of photos, most of which never before published.
Delage, Champion du Monde
by Daniel Cabart & Christophe Pund
The 15-S-8 model discussed here was a World Champion—but few today remember this enormous achievement. This thorough account is accompanied by fabulous period photos.
Mickey Thompson, The Lost Story of the Original Speed King in his Own Words
The first American to break the 400-mph barrier and holder of more speed and endurance records than any other man in automotive history died by—bicycle. On which the killers sent by a former business partner had ridden to his house to shoot him!
Racer
by John Andretti & Jade Gurss
You wouldn’t know from just the book title that this story does not have a good ending, at least not in the conventional sense. Good will surely come from reading it and one would like to think that good came to the man who had the courage to write it.
Shadow: The Magnificent Machines of a Man of Mystery
by Pete Lyons
That man of mystery was the quiet if not secretive Don Nichols, founder and principal of the Shadow team/s that competed quite successfully for 11 seasons—before fading into oblivion. For the first time, a proper book connects the dots.
Lartigue et les Autos de Course
by Pierre Darmendrail & Christophe Lavielle
From a 1905 to a 1978 race, this extraordinary photographer saw the world, and in this case race cars, in a very specific way. Students of photography and racing will find his photos remarkable.
Carlo Demand In Motion and Color: Automobile Racing 1895–1956
by Gary D Doyle
The German artist Carlo Demand (1921–2000) illustrated more books than any other artist, yet his name is not nearly as well known as that of many of his contemporaries or as the quality of his work would indicate.
Powered by Porsche, The Alternative Race Cars
by Roy Smith
“Everyone” knows that Porsche makes serious race cars—but even Porsche geeks will surely not know just how many other makes and teams used Porsche motors and know-how to better their own fortunes, often enough in competition against the provider.
