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.
