Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The story of the classic confrontation between the classic Ford GT40 as it took on - and beat - the all-dominant Ferraris at Le Mans. A story of hard work, dedication, disappointment, tragedy, and ultimately of complete and repeated success. Hodges recollections of six epic seasons of endurance racing and of the legacy they left to international motorsport form a fascinating repeat view of what many regard as the golden period of the postwar era. Includes a record of ownership and ID of each car, plus a race record listing the fate of all GT40s entered in major events. Rev. ed.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need, January 30, 1999
By A Customer
Tecnical info, a race/development history, chassis record. Even a brief look at the replicas. If you could wish for something more it would be better picture reproduction.

2.0 out of 5 stars I wish there was a better book, July 23, 2002
By Robert S. Truesdell (Costa Mesa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
If this were a less expensive book the rating would go to 3-4 stars but compared to books of similar subject matter (Porsche 917: The Winning Formula) the photographs are not very good and the paper and printing process is at best mediocre. To add insult to injury, the book is more than "Porsche 917".

I purchased this book as reference for model building. It is some help in this respect. But the paucity of color photos and the poor resolution cause me to downrate this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Book -- More Context Would Be Nice, August 20, 2001
By Frank Wortner (Dobbs Ferry, NY USA) - See all my reviews
If I could wish for more, it would be more context. It would be nice to have seen some better coverage of races outside of Le Mans, and more coverage of the principal opponents. It's a little like looking at the world with GT40 tunnel vision. Of course I shouldn't complain too much, this is a comprehensive history of the GT40 afterall.
