À propos de ce produit
Product Information
This is the story of a Grand Prix formula that no British constructor wanted but which became one that they would almost totally dominate. It has remained largely overlooked due to the perception that the cars were underpowered and hence unspectacular. Such a perception ignores the significant technical developments that took place that are now taken for granted, such as monocoque chassis construction. It saw the career of Stirling Moss come to a premature end, but in his absence the rise to prominence of a new breed of British drivers in Jim Clark, Graham Hill and John Surtees. Over 200 photos and contemporary technical material outline the engineering achievements as well as the exploits of the constructors. With a foreword by Raymond Baxter.

Reviews
Startline Magazine(UK), October 2006 "This book is the author's first and is well-written with in depth statistics and accompanying photographs. A third of the book is devoted to fascinating race reports which include sets of results. The highlight of the book is the detailed account of each marque of racing car and its developments during the period of its competition history. This section uses original photographs and cut-away drawings to keep the reader interested and offers a comprehensive detailed account of these beautiful racing cars. The book is well worth checking out if you have an interest in this period of Formula One racing." Motorsport Magazine(UK), October 2006 "Mark Whitelock rightly believes 11/2-litre F1 is due for reappraisal, and his painstakingly researched book provides a well-rounded survey. There are chapters detailing each year's racing, sections on leading drivers and circuits, and expertly written technical coverage of all the chassis and engines. Abundant photographs, cut-away diagrams and stats add to this book's usefulness.", Startline Magazine (UK), October 2006 "This book is the author's first and is well-written with in depth statistics and accompanying photographs.

A superb achievement for Whitelock's first book." - Classic and Sports Car ( UK ), Fall 2006 "It is a superb result, well illustrated and written with chapters on the overall scene ... making it a valuable resource and entertaining read. It was a dramatic period well captured by this book." - Victory Lane, October 2006, Editor of Cars For The Connoisseurmagazine, March 2007( UK) Shortly before he died last September Raymond Baxter arranged for me to be sent a review copy of the above, to which he has written the Foreword, and it was only over Christmas that I found time to peruse it. This is the study of a Grand Prix formula that no British constructor wanted, but which, ironically, became one that they would almost totally dominate. The 11/2-litre GP era is often largely overlooked due the perception that the cars were underpowered and hence unspectacular in relation to their forebears and successors. However, this was a period which saw significant technological developments such as monocoque chassis construction and huge advances in tire technology - despite Dunlop enjoying a virtual monopoly of racing tires. Whitelock paints the complete picture of this era featuring the twenty-one marques and the one-hundred and-one drivers that took part in one, or more, of the forty-six GPs run between 1961 and 1965 'on circuits whose characteristics differed profoundly, with cars still painted in their national colors, when spectator protection was as sparse as the money, and the paddock and its bar were open to the public.' The result of many years of diligent research this is a mine of information and should give pleasure to every true motor racing enthusiast. South London Press, January 2007 (UK) This is the story of a Grand Prix formula that no British constructor wanted, but which, ironically, became one that they would almost totally dominate, writes John Hyam. The result of many years of diligent research, this unique book paints the complete picture of the 1½-litre Grand Prix racing years, featuring the 21 marques and the 101 drivers who took part in the 46 GPs run between 1961 and 1965 at venues including Crystal Palace. The 1½-litre GP era is often largely overlooked due to a common, if unfounded, perception that the cars were underpowered and hence unspectacular in relation to their forebears and successors. Such a perception ignores the tremendously significant and far-reaching technical developments that took place during the formula's currency: developments such as monocoque chassis construction now used in F1. This influential period of Grand Prix racing saw the career of Stirling Moss come to a premature end among the tangled wreckage of his car and, in his absence, the rise to prominence of a new breed of British drivers in Jim Clark, Graham Hill and John Surtees. Sadly, many of these marques and the majority of the drivers made little, or no, impact, yet their contributions, just like those of the prime movers, deserve to be remembered and recorded for posterity. Review by Peter Joy for British Racing Mechanics Club, December 2006 (UK) This 204-page hardback features 344 great black & white and color action shots and is Tony Gardiner's very personal review of the glory days of the RAC Rally. These images, which have not previously been published, have an energy which brings the rally back to life and reminds us how far removed modern rallying is from the much simpler pre-WRC era. While it is neither a lavishly produced photo-essay nor an exhaustively researched history, if you have any interest at all in rallying's golden age, an era when it was actually worth spending time in a Welsh forest being pebble-dashed by a passing 'bubble-arched' Escort, it is an absolute must. The book allows you to relive the events if you were there at the time, or offers the next best thing if you weren't. For nearly 20 years, from 1964 to 1983 motorsport enthusiast and amateur photographer Gardiner, a professional illustrator, always took a week of his annual leave to watch 'The RAC', and reckons he covered more than 28,000 miles chasing rally stages around t, Classic and Sports Car ( UK ), Fall 2006 "Impressive work … Packed with pictures and a superb selection of contemporary cutaways, it's an enjoyable and insightful review … A superb achievement for Whitelock's first book."
