Description
This sumptuous book, a feast of nostalgia, celebrates the
wonderful era of the European Formula 2 Championship, which began in 1967 and
concluded in 1984. F2 pitted emerging heroes against the greats of the day and
in its earlier years virtually all the top F1 drivers - names like Jackie
Stewart, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt and Bruce McLaren - battled
with young chargers in races that thrilled huge crowds at the best European
circuits, from Thruxton to the Nuerburgring, Enna-Pergusa to Pau, Rouen-Les-Essarts
to Mugello. Nearly 900 photographs, the great majority taken by Jutta Fausel,
bring the glory days of F2 back to life in this book, along with expert
commentary and detailed statistics.

Jutta Fausel
grew up behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany, near Berlin, but escaped with
her parents in 1961 to settle in West Germany near Stuttgart. Very soon after
arriving, a visit to her first race, the Solitude Grand Prix, left her
spellbound. Before long, she realised that she could combine her passion for
photography with motorsport and attempt to make her living. The European F2
Championship was where Jutta established herself, usually travelling to the
races in her old VW Beetle, taking her photos, driving home through the night,
developing the films and making prints, delivering them to her main magazine
client in Stuttgart, and only then getting some sleep. She covered the
championship throughout its 18 years, meanwhile broadening out into other areas
of racing, above all F1. Nowadays she lives in California with her husband,
John Ward, a race engineer, and still supplies publishers with photos from her
extensive archive.
