A good book for F1 fans

This is a good book on F1 history, with plenty of detailed technical and apisodic information concerning teams, drivers and cars. The author shows a profound knowledge on the subject of F1 grand prix racing, and the book is a very good source of season by season information, from 1950 to 1996. It will please all fans of this most important category of car racing, although an updated edition is now needed.

All that and a bag of chips!

This was a Christmas present from my wife and this was the best present I can remember receiving. Everything about F1 from Bugatti, Nuvolari & Fangio to Senna, Prost & McLaren. This book is for the dedicated F1 fan. It is well researched and written and follows the development and technical specs of F1 cars past & present. It contains numerous rare photographs as well as some cutaway drawings of cars and engines. A MUST!

A TRUE WINNER!

This book truly surprised me. First off this book is very big and is absolutely filled with fascinating information! So many questions can be answered in this book and so much information to take in. Impress your friends with your vast Grand Prix and Formula One knowledge! I would buy this one today! Thank you for making it available....great stuff!

Every year from 1894 to 1996, all in one volume!

An amazingly complete account, this book covers every season of European top-level racing from the Paris rally of 1894 through the 1996 Grand Prix season. Each year contains an account of technical developments, who the top drivers were and interesting (and fun) anecdotes about how the season progressed. It also includes performance and race statistics for all the major marques. In my opinion, this book is a must for fans of the history of motor racing.
