Books: Autocourse Grand Prix Annuals Autocourse 1999-2000 Grand Prix Annual Item #1999 - $49.95 Champion: Mika Häkkinen. One of the most exciting and unpredictable seasons in recent F1 history began in Australia with Ferrari's Eddie Irvine winning his first Grand Prix and launching his bid for the Drivers' World Championship. Sharing the top steps were two drivers who would prove to be the revelations of the season: Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Ralph Schumacher. The two favourites for the drivers' crown, Ferrari's Michael Scumacher and McLaren-Mercedes' Mika Häkkinen, then asserted theird own claims, winning two races apiece. But the title race took an unexpected turn at the British Grand Prix, when Schumacher's brakes failed, and the resulting accident broke his right leg and ended his championship hopes. Häkkinen should have been bable to consolidate his lead, but instead he lost ground to Irvine, who plugged away, gathering points and two further wins. It was at the Italian Grand Prix, however, where Häkkinen's title challenge appeared to unraveled, the Finn making a mistake and stalling the car into retirement. As he wept but the side of the track, it looked as if the pressure was starting to tell. The tension and excitement, speed and glamour of a season of Grand Prix racing are chronicled in the 49th edition of Autocourse, long established as the world's leading grand prix annual. With an array of superb illustrations contributed by Paul-Henri Cahier, and many more of the sport's top photographers, and the incisive, authorative coverage of the 1999 season by leading F1 journalist Alan Henry and his team of contributors, Autocourse is an unrivalled record of the motor racing year that no enthusiast should be without. Contents include: top ten drivers, team-by-team F1 review, full Grand Prix reports, comprehensive Grand Prix statistics, F3000 and F3 racing reviews, GT and touring car, Le Mans racing reviews, American racing review (NASCAR, Cart, and IRL) and international results round-up.
