Autocourse 60 Years of World Championship Motor Racing (HB) - Description
2010 marks the 60th Anniversary of the World
Championship for Drivers, and AUTOCOURSE is marking the occasion with the ultimate
record of the past six decades of Grand Prix Racing
Written by Alan Henry, the internationally respected
motor racing correspendent, who has covered the sport for more than four
decades and has been the editor of AUTOCOURSE since 1988. He has attended more
than 500 World Championship races and is one of the few journalists to have the
inside line with some of the sport’s most powerful figures. His first-hand
knowledge and unique perspective combine to bring an unrivalled authority to
this magnificent history.
Beautifully illustrated with photography from
the Cahier Archive, the book contains hundreds of stunning images. Bernard Cahier
was a brilliant photojournalist who was also a friend and confidant of many of
the drivers for more than three decades. His evocative photos bring back to
life Grand Prix racing from a bygone era. His son Paul-Henri, is one of a handful
photographers to have lifted motorsport photography into an art form, his eye for
the beauty of Formula 1 is presented here in glorious colour.
