An Amazon customer wrote of this book:

It contains information on almost every kind of major motorsport in the world and also has information on some of the lower formulas.
John Tipler also brings his experience of racing an Alfa Romeo GTV6 in the AROC series to provide a detailed description of how racing cars have evolved over the years.
But arguably the books best feature are the amazingly detailed cut-away diagrams of many of the most important racing cars.
If that wasn’t enough the book also contains lists of all the winners of the major motorsport races and championships.
This book is a must for any motorsport fan.

A collection of tales of daring-do that have been a constant feature of Formula One since the inception of the world championship in 1950. From Italy’s Guiseppe Farina, the first World Champion, through to Michael Schumacher, winner in 1995, the collection demonstrates what set these men apart from their fellow drivers. The key races in each year’s campaign are outlined and the psychology of each driver is examined alongside the machine he drove and his technical skills.
