Synopsis
This richly illustrated photographic essay captures the human drama and technical ingenuity that have characterized Grand Prix racing ever since the first event in 1906. Many of these photographs have never been published before, including wonderful images from early glass-plate negatives. The book graphically tells the story of the iconic cars that changed the sport over the past 100 years and the men who raced them- the greatest drivers including Felice Nazzaro, Tazio Nuvolari, Rudi Caracciola, Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and many more. Dramatic and beautiful photographs of the key drivers, entrants, cars, and venues combine with highly informative captions to present a vivid and often intimate picture of the first century of Grand Prix racing.

About the Author
Quentin Spurring missed the first 60 years of Grand Prix racing but has been writie about it since joining Autosport in 1966. He later served as the editor of Competition Car and then as the press officer of Graham Hill's Embassy Racing Formula 1 team. He returned to Autosport in 1976 and was the editor or executive editor of more than 600 issues of the famous British weekly. In 1988 he formed Q.ED, a successful contract publishing company, and subsequently launched Racecar Engineering magazine. He has since worked in digital media, including Autosport Professional, and in the gentler world of books.
