Janos Wimpffen Boeken

Renowned racing historian Janos Wimpffen uses hundreds of rare photographs to create the ultimate account of sports-car racing in the 1970s, enhancing them with race results, technical details, and biographical data. Together they tell the complete story of a complex and competitive era.

The book opens in an era characterized by brute-force engines encased in bodies of sublime beauty, and closes at the time when an emphasis on weight saving, finesse, and the first inklings of newer technologies were coming to the fore. Few of these photos have been published before and the collection includes many rare color images.
