History of the Grand Prix Cars - 1966-91
Item #H945 - 125.00$ |
|
|
In this comprehensive survey of the technicalities, triumphs and tribulations behind the design and development of the Grand Prix car, respected racing journalist Doug Nye looks in great detail at the teams and designs which have not only won but also merely competed in the Formula 1 Constructors' World Championship during the 26-season span, 1966-91.
Many anecdotes of designers, mechanics and drivers stud the text where significant. Sections explain some of the secrets of chassis design and construction, and in conjunction with innovative designers John Barnard and Gordon Murray Nye unravels for the enthusiast some of the mysteries of Formula 1's modern space age composite materials such as carbon fibre, and their uses, advantages and disadvantages. A special section details every team and one-off private entry car used in international Formula 1 racing during these years. A comprehensive appendix presents the first six places and potted race reports of every Formula 1 event in the period. Top-quality colour and monochrome photographs and a selection of cutaway drawings and genuine Formula 1 factory drawings make this new edition a vital addition to every motor racing enthusiast's bookshelf. By Doug Nye Hazleton Publishing - 1992 Hardbound, 9½" x 12½" / 24cm x 31.5cm 352 pages, 200+ black & white and color illustrations |
