4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting book for those who love cars, racing, & F1., March 23, 1998

By A Customer

A great overview of the history of Grand Prix racing from the perspective of automotive design. There are detailed b/w illustrations on nearly every page and the 16 color plates accurately summarize the evolution of Grand Prix (and later F1) cars.
