In the 1950s and early '60s Modena was at the center of the Italian sports car and GP universe, as were Ferrari, Maserati, OSCA & others. Relive the period of the decline and rebirth of Italy's racing prowess in Modena Racing Memories. Author Graham Gauld was in Modena during that era. The relationships he established, photos he produced, and the insight he acquired allow him to deliver this account of the exciting cars and racing luminaries of that legendary era.
