This review is from: Porsche 956/962: The enduring champions (Hardcover)
Peter Morgan has done an excellent job of taking what could be a dry and technical subject and making it an easy and enjoyable read. If you like the Porsche 956/962 series of race cars, this book is a must-have, with outstanding pictures and text that helps explain the origins of the cars as well as the fascinating technical background - and all in such a way that even a novice to the world of sports car racing would understand and enjoy. And did I mention that the pictures in this book are outstanding?

Porsche 956/962 book review,
By Rick McOmber (Rochester, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porsche 956/962: The enduring champions (Hardcover)
As a fan of prototype race cars especially the Porsche 956/962 it's nice to finally see a book on this. Haynes publshing and Peter Morgan do it again with another detailed, thoroughly researched book on Porsches. Great photos with coverage of the IMSA series, Group C and races in Japan. A chassis record and race results are included. I highly recommend this book!!

Another fantastic book from Haynes,
By FFracer (Horseheads, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porsche 956/962: The enduring champions (Hardcover)
This book covers the 956/962 Group C/IMSA/Japan Prototype era Porsches. Excellent photos and storyline about the evolution of one of most famous racing cars of the 80s.
Please do a book on the 935 and 936!! Well worth the money. Their 917 and F1 books are also top notch, especially the photos.
