Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Neither the saga of one extraordinary sport nor merely a record of exceptionally brave and sometimes reckless racers, this book serves as a tribute to the engineering ingenuity and innovative logic behind a century of incredible racing machines. The book is remarkably illustrated with rare and mostly never-before-published images.
