5.0 out of 5 stars Every year from 1894 to 1996, all in one volume!, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

An amazingly complete account, this book covers every season of European top-level racing from the Paris rally of 1894 through the 1996 Grand Prix season. Each year contains an account of technical developments, who the top drivers were and interesting (and fun) anecdotes about how the season progressed. It also includes performance and race statistics for all the major marques. In my opinion, this book is a must for fans of the history of motor racing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for F1 fans, March 20, 2001

By	Dr. M. Goncalves (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This is a good book on F1 history, with plenty of detailed technical and apisodic information concerning teams, drivers and cars. The author shows a profound knowledge on the subject of F1 grand prix racing, and the book is a very good source of season by season information, from 1950 to 1996. It will please all fans of this most important category of car racing, although an updated edition is now needed.
