Product Description

F1 is a difficult business to break into and when new arrivals do appear, very few survive beyond the first year. In 1997, not only did a new team make an impression and gain a foothold, but it bore the name of Jackie Stewart. Never before has a F1 team arrived with such a high profile.

Racing Stewart tells the story of this remarkable adventure. Stewart-Ford is unique, and here, for the very first time, the birth of a GP challenger is fully revealed. Foreword by Jackie Stewart & Paul Stewart.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Racing Stewart, December 10, 1999 By  Richard Andrews (Lethbridge Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews I've been a fan of the wee Scott for many years following his career first as a driver and now as an entrant. One cannot imagine the problems faced by someone wanting to enter the competitive world of Formula One motor racing until you read this book. A very informative account of the conception, launch and first year of a brand new Grand Prix race team. The book is extremely well written and supplemented by beautiful photography in both b&w and colour. Now that Stewart Grand Prix has been bought out by Jaguar, this book is a must for any Formula One fan and provides a much valued documentary of this era of Grand Prix history. 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, January 27, 1999 By  Jeff Mulvihill, Jr. (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews I read a lot of books for research on starting a Race team, this is one of the best books I chose!! This book takes you though the in's and out's and up's and down's of starting Stewart Ford. A lot of books give WAY too much detail, this one is just right, it gives the reader (race fan) just the right amount of content and excitement in the text followed by wonderful color and black and white photos. If you were not a Stewart Ford fan before, this book will at least make you have a little pull for them come race day. If you are interested in how it all started this is a great book, I couldn't put it down, it kept me going from front cover to back... I'll be looking for them this race year! 5.0 out of 5 stars Read into the making of a Grand Prix team, from scratch, November 28, 1998 By A Customer As fan of the Stewart Grand prix team, this book was the number one book on my christmas list last year. Here, a grand prix team opens it's doors to you, and shows you around. The whole book charts the first year of the Stewart Team in the world of F1. Described to you are the problems, barriers and hinderances in the way of setting up a grand prix team from next to nothing. It also re-accounts the moments of joy and great acheivement the team had in it's first year. "The" book for any supporter of the new guys in F1.
