Description
"Cars at Speed" is widely considered to be one of the finest books available on the Grand Prix and sports car racing ever published, covering twelve of the world's greatest racing circuits. Long out of print, this book now returns with a new introduction by Daley, plus commissioned drawings of each featured circuit - Silverstone, Monza, Spa, Zandvoort, Nurburing, Monaco. A rare opportunity to travel back in time to when passion and danger defined racing, this is a fascinating look at the early days of racing: the qualities of each track, the history, controversies, accidents, races , tragedies and successes on each one. Focusing in turn on each top racer - Sterling Moss, Phil Hill, Jean Behra, Marquis de Portago - this recreates the mythical quality of the Grand Prix in it's glittering prime and is sure to be received enthusiastically by fans worldwide.
