The front-engined racing car dominated Grand Prix racing for the first half-century of the sport, from the inaugural event in 1906 to the late 1950s. Karl Ludvigsen's authoritative and beautifully illustrated history of the development of these powerful machines celebrates the engineering of their designs and recaptures the pioneering spirit of the golden age of Grand Prix racing.
Customer Review: Excellent!
This book has exactly what I was looking for: loads of information with good quality photographs. Besides, it covers most of the important cars of the era, with lots of technical information on the cars and on the sport at the time. It only doesn't have much information on the statistics of the races, but that was not the author's focus. He proposed to write about the cars and that he did, brilliantly. One of the best books about motor sports in general I ever read.
