Offers a celebration of motor racing. This book helps F1 fans to see how much things have technically changed over the years but paradoxically how many of the fundamentals of motor racing have remained unaltered.
"Grand Prix Yesterday & Today" is a timely celebration of motor racing. Each spread will show a facet of the sport from those pioneering days juxtaposed with a similar one of recent times. Complementing these expertly chosen images are reflections on the situations then and now. The structure of the book allows today's F1 fan to see just how much things have technically changed over the years but paradoxically how many of the fundamentals of motor racing have remained unaltered. Times may change, but Grand Prix remains the compelling spectacle that it always was.
