Introduction
Description
Michael Keyser’s racing and film experience, across the U.S. and Europe, from 1969 through 1972. Keyser relives the era of the great races between Ferrari 512s and Porsche 917s - cars which dominated the world manufacturer’s series in 1970. The successes and failures of drivers Vic Elford, Brian Redman, Jo Siffert, Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Stewart are explored alongside racing at Daytona, Sebring, Indianapolis, the Targa Florio, the Nürburgring, Monaco and Le Mans. The book has been completely revised and now offers more than double the number of photographs and Keyser’s unique position as driver, photographer, and filmmaker gives a personal dimension. With brilliant full color photography and evocative prose, The Speed Merchants brings to vivid life the sights and sounds of a lost era. “...well written book and, rather better still, the photography is on the whole first rate, occasionally quirky and not at all familiar.” Motor Sport Hardback Book. 309 pages.
