2.0 out of 5 stars I Expected More From Autocourse and Alan Henry, October 6, 2006

Dean N. Tsatsos "DiabloSe30V12" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Formula 1 Turbo Era (Autocourse Technical Series) (Paperback)

Disappointing effort from Autocourse and celebrated author Alan Henry. Really just a "Picture Book" with a very basic review of the Formula One Turbo Era.
Don't understand how this falls into the Autocourse Technical Series, buy
"The 1000 BHP Grand Prix Cars" by Ian Bamsey instead if you want to read about the technical aspects of the F1 turbo era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light Reading, Awesome Photgraphs!, June 2, 2007

Jack (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Formula 1 Turbo Era (Autocourse Technical Series) (Paperback)

You have to have a certain level of knowledge to truly appreciate what went into building the famous cars from the "Tubo Era". While this book is light on it's text, the photographs are full color and stunning. This is one of my favorite books to simply flip through, the level of craftsmanship and technology is inspiring.
