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.
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.
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.
Niki Lauda: The Biography
by Maurice Hamilton
One of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, he died in his sleep at age 70. He had worn many different hats in his life on and off the track, one of them to hide the scars of that near-fatal accident at a race he, then the defending world champion and points leader, considered so unsafe that he attempted to arrange a boycott.
Jim McGee, Crew Chief of Champions
by Gordon Kirby
He cut his teeth working on a private Indy entry cobbled together in a backyard garage and rose to run some of the big-league outfits of his day. An important book about an important man.
Brooklands, The Sports Car Endurance Races
by David Blumlein
Who’d have thunk that this category of Brooklands racing had never before been fully written up? This small book is remarkable in every way.
The Blunt End of the Grid
by Dave Roberts
Roberts’ approach to motor racing is the polar opposite to the clinical diligence of an F1 team. The best testament to this book is that if former McLaren head honcho Ron Dennis read it, he would need specialist counselling.
