Motor Racing - Reflections of a Lost Era

by Carter, Anthony
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781787115231 Veloce

This book is an evocative and nostalgic look at a defining era in motorsport, which is documented in words and intimate photographs, both black and white and colour. It takes the reader from the mid-1950s through the 1960s, when motor racing was still accessible to all, and into the 1970s when overt sponsorship and television changed the sport for ever.
Both cars and personalities come under the close scrutiny of Anthony Carter's lens at long abandoned but fondly remembered venues; the old Nürburgring, Reims and Rouen vie with today's circuits such as Le Mans, Silverstone and Brands Hatch.

Man in the White Suit: The Stig, Le Mans, the Fast Lane, and Me
<p>When the Black Stig disappeared off the end of an aircraft carrier in 2003, we were introduced to The White Stig. Faster. Stranger. Harder to keep clean. And ever since, millions have wondered--who is the Man in the White Suit? They're about to find out.</p><p>Ben Collins caught the car the bug young, kicking his dad's boss in the balls for not giving him a company Jag. This was the attitude that eventually led him to spend seven years sharing a cabin with Jeremy Clarkson's underwear, James May's PhD thesis, and Richard Hammond's hairspray. Because he is the Stig.</p><p>Now he tells all about life inside the iconic white helmet. What it's like to guide a blind ex-RAF officer around the Top Gear track&#x3b; pit a drug dealer's Mitsubishi Evo against a Trojan tank&#x3b; set a Vauxhall Monara against Chloe the dancing Ninja&#x3b; and race double-decker Routemasters against bendy buses--not to mention all the inside stuff on how the show's amazing driving sequences are made.</p><p>He also reveals how he got to be there--setting a Dunsfold lap time faster than Michael Schumacher's. Breaking records with the best of the best at Daytona and Le Mans.</p><p>It's an awesome story, told by an amazing man.</p>
