As an enthusiastic newcomer to the world of motor racing, photographer Rainer W. Schlegelmilch spent the sixties pursuing the sport's leading drivers with his camera – immortal idols such as Jim Clark and Graham Hill, Jacky Ickx and Jackie Stewart. The portraits, snapshots and dramatic action pictures of these racetrack heroes offer a fascinating and comprehensive insight into the mortor-racing scene of the 60's at the Nürburgring, Le Mans, Monaco, Siverstone...
Large-format photographs around the racetrack, together with numerous illustrations of the state-of-the-art engines of the day, make the book a perfect pictorial record of the remarkable "Golden Sixties". The introductory texts accompanying the chapter on each driver, and the captions to the illustrations, are written by Hartmut Lehbrink, the well-known motor-racing author.
