Synopsis
A gleaming, low slung Formula One car exudes power. Combine several of them on a challenging circuit, add daring tactical manoeuvres skilfully executed at hazardous speeds and you have the key elements of a fascination that grips countless racing fans all over the world. This book tells the story of the sport from before inception of the world championship in the 1950s to the modern day: the drivers, teams, and the tracks. An overview traces the development of motor racing and the changes brought about by technological advances, touching on the bold design features that have improved car handling. Racing heroes of the past and present are profiled, and the stories of the great teams and their victories. The line-up of championship circuits includes obscure Mont Tremblant in Canada which hosted only two races, the infamous Nurburgring where several drivers lost their lives, and Monaco whose exceptional location ensures lasting appeal despite the unsuitability of its streets for high-speed chases. Diagrams of tracks feature speed indicators to give an insight into the challenges facing drivers. The text and photographs aim to convey the excitement and danger of this glamorous sport.
