Ford GT40

I purchased this book as a referance for building a model of this car. I found the book to be very helpful for that purpose and as an intersting book to read about Le Mans race cars. I would like to recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the world of racing.

A Fine Book -- More Context Would Be Nice

If I could wish for more, it would be more context. It would be nice to have seen some better coverage of races outside of Le Mans, and more coverage of the principal opponents. It's a little like looking at the world with GT40 tunnel vision. Of course I shouldn't complain too much, this is a comprehensive history of the GT40 afterall.

All you need

Tecnical info, a race/development history, chassis record. Even a brief look at the replicas. If you could wish for something more it would be better picture reproduction.
