Motor Racing by John Tennant
Following the design, format and idea of the successful Football: The Golden Age, this book presents a collection of 275 images that include - the drivers, the fans, the race tracks, the cars, the crashes and pit-stops. It also looks at the history behind motor racing - the hill climbs, rallies through cities and also the land speed records.
This oversize book is a treasure trove of photographs gleaned from a variety of archival sources, all having car racing as their subject matterThe golden age to which the title refers is the period during which the art of car-racing photography stood at its dynamic finest: from the early years of the twentieth century to the 1970s. The black-and-white images offered in this album give intriguing aerial views of racetracks, informal snaps of famous drivers in action or in repose, a fun shot of drivers recuperating postrace at a Monte Carlo cafe, and several that capture loss-of-control accidents. Fast-paced action and fearless personalities leap from these pages. Introduced with spirit and style by world-renowned driver Jackie Stewart, this is a gripping book for car and sports enthusiasts. --
