5.0 out of 5 stars If you're a fan of Grand Prix racing, you must have this!, January 1, 1998

This review is from: American Grand Prix Racing; A Century of Drivers and Cars (Hardcover)

Over the course of modern Formula One racing since 1950, there have been two publicly successful and one publicly unsuccessful U.S. Grand Prix racer, but did you know that there are more than 140 American men and one woman who have challenged in Grand Prix since 1906? Tim Considine spent seven years of his life in research for this volume, which includes biographies of many of the racers, period photos by some of the top photographers, including Pete Biro, Bernard Cahier and Dave Friedman, and a time line history of U.S. drivers, teams and tracks in Grand Prix. As a reference alone, this book is worth having in anyone's GP collection, but as a read, it's a "can't put it down" book. You're going to love this.

Especially for European fans like myself, who don't know the history of American grand prix drivers and cars, this is an execelent book. I've just loved it. Five stars, at least.

The desperate daughter of a die-yard Formula 1 fan received this recommendation from a more-than-avid fan, historian, writer and knowlegable source. He was absolutely correct, given to my father, it's something he had never seen or heard of and was drawn in immediately upon opening the birthday present. For the F1 fan who loves every aspect of the evolution of the sport, this is an outstanding resource that will keep them busy for hours.
