Two new books published by Quarto under their Motorbooks imprint are set to be released in September.
‘Motorsports Mavericks’ is lavishly illustrated with the photography of the legendary Pete Biro and will be released on September 8.
Paging through our advance copy brought back a flurry of memories of the great drivers, machines and races from the 1960’s and 1970’s, the era when I fell in love with the sport.
I remember Biro’s photographs from the magazines of the day and to see them put together with an excellent George Levy text in a high quality book like this is a dream come true.
A must have for just $50.00.
Formula 1 Champions: Car by Car’ by Stuart Codling will be available on September 22.
Like ‘Motorsports Mavericks’ this book is well illustrated with original period photographs. Beginning with the inaugural World Champion Giuseppe Farina and his Alfa Romeo 158 in 1950, ‘Formula 1 Champions: Car by Car takes you year by year to 2025 World Champion Lando Norris and the McLaren MCL39.
An informative text by Stuart Codling gives a synopsis of the season, profiling the Champion driver and his machine along with technical information.
The book features an Appendix listing the individual race results of each season’s World Champion and an extensive Index.
An excellent book at an attractive price ($50.00) for new fans interested in the history of Grand Prix racing and for those of us who have followed F1 for decades.
