Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Toivonen - Rallyefans verbinden mit diesem Namen beeindruckende Leistungen, ruhmreiche Siege aber leider auch den tödlichen Unfall von Henri und seinem Beifahrer Sergio Cresto bei der Tour de Corse 1986, der das Ende der Gruppe B besiegelte. Er war einer der außergewöhnlichsten Rallyefahrer…aller Zeiten, begeisterte im Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, Opel Ascona 400, Porsche 911 SCRS und im Lancia Rally 037. Im Lancia Delta S4 war er nahezu unschlagbar mit seinen Siegen bei der RAC und in Monte Carlo - 20 Jahre nach dem Triumph seines Vaters Pauli an gleicher Stelle.Dieses Buch erzählt die faszinierende Geschichte der Rallyefamilie Toivonen: von Paulis Heldentaten in den 50er- und 60er-Jahren inklusive seines EM-Titel im Porsche 911, über die ersten Driftübungen seiner Söhne auf finnischen Eisseen und bis hin zum unterschiedlichen Werdegang und Schicksal der Brüder Henri und Harri. Autor Esa Illoinen ist tief in das Familienleben der Toivonens eingetaucht und hat mit unzähligen Zeitzeugen aus dem Umfeld gesprochen, darunter auch mit Paulis Ehefrau Ulla, Henris Ehefrau Erja und Henris mittlerweile 95 Jahre alten Englischlehrerin. Das Resultat ist ein intimes und bewegendes Porträt von Finnlands schnellster Rallyefamilie, wundervoll illustriert durch die besten Bilder aus dem schier unerschöpflichen McKlein-Archiv.////////////////////When rally fans hear the name Toivonen, they immediately think of breathtaking performances and glorious victories. But it is also hard to forget the accident on the 1986 Tour de Corse that took the lives of Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto and which eventually brought Group B rallying to an end. Henri was one of the most exceptional rally drivers in history. His inspiring performances in the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, Opel Ascona 400, Porsche 911 SCRS and Lancia Rally 037 are all well-remembered. But it was the Lancia Delta S4 that really showcased Henri's ability with victories in the RAC and Monte Carlo rallies, the latter twenty years after his father's own triumph in the Principality.This book tells the fascinating story of the Toivonen family in rallying and racing. It starts with father Pauli's heroic drives in the 1950s and 1960s, including winning the European Rally title of 1968 at the wheel of a Porsche 911. It moves on to include the first exploits of the next generation on frozen lakes right up to the contrasting careers and fortunes of Henri and brother Harri in motor sport. Author Esa Illoinen immersed himself deeply in the Toivonen family history and spoke to innumerable friends and witnesses of those days. Amongst them were with Pauli's widow, Ulla, Henri's widow, Erja, and even Henri's 95-year old English teacher. The result is an intimate and touching portrait of Finland's fastest family, wonderfully illustrated by the best images from the inexhaustible McKlein archive.////////////////////Lorsqu'un passionné de rallye pense à Toivonen, immédiatement, ce nom lui évoque performances incroyables et victoires, mais aussi tragédie.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Als sich im Jahre 1953 über 50 Starter auf den Weg machten um die 'Coronation Safari' in Angriff zu nehmen, ahnte niemand, dass die 'Safari' Jahre später eine der bekanntesten und sicherlich die härteste Rallye der Welt sein würde. In den Folgejahren wurde die Herausforderung in der ostafrikanische…n Steppe besonders bei den europäischen Automobilherstellern immer beliebter, doch bis zu Hannu Mikkolas Sieg auf einem werksunterstützten Ford Escort im Jahr 1972 wurde die Rallye immer von einheimischen Teams dominiert. Anlässlich des 50. Jubiläums, der wohl vorerst letzten Safari Rallye im Jahr 2002, hat Reinhard Klein in Zusammenarbeit mit dem langjährigen Rallyebeifahrer John Davenport dieses über 300 Seiten starke Werk über den Mythos Safari Rallye zusammengestellt. Insbesondere die fotografische Seite dieses in hoher Qualität verarbeiteten Werkes ist herausragend, denn zusätzlich zu den schönsten Bildern von Reinhard Klein und McKlein wurden zahlreiche Archive durchsucht, um noch nie gezeigte Motive zu veröffentlichen. Abgerundet wird das zweisprachige Buch 'Safari Rally' durch komplette Startlisten und Ergebnisse aller Jahre von 1953 bis 2002 sowie durch ein Fotospezial über die Elemente der vielseitigen Safari - von der Tierwelt über die extreme Weite bis hin zu den staubigen und schlammigen Pisten.//////////////////In 2002 the fiftieth event was held and it is possible that it may be the last. On the occasion of that anniversary, Reinhard Klein, in association with former co-driver John Davenport, compiled this massive work containing more than 300 pages. More than two years work has gone into its compilation. The highlight of this top-quality work is the photography. As well as the very best Reinhard Klein and McKlein shots, this book offers dozens of pictures from the private files of former participants and from the archives of Kenya's local newspapers, the Daily Nation and the East African Standard. Special features of this bilingual book are complete entry lists and results from all fifty years. There is also a photographic section devoted to the various elements that represent the diversity of the Safari Rally. These include the wildlife, the scenery, the roads, the people, the rally teams and some of those special moments where only a picture can convey the full meaning. ////////////////////En 2002 et à l'occasion du 50ème et sans doute dernier Safari Rally, Reinhard Klein, en collaboration avec l'ancien copilote John Davenport, a rassemblé un immense travail dans ces 324 pages sur le mythe qu'est devenu le Safari Rally. Le point culminant de cet ouvrage de qualité qui a demandé deux années d'investissement réside dans ses photographies. Outre les meilleurs clichés de Reinhard Klein et de l'agence McKlein, ce livre bilingue offre des dizaines de photos privées des anciens participants ainsi que des archives des journaux kenyans le Daily Nation et le East African Standard. De surplus il vous révèle les listes d'engagés et résultats complets de 50 années de compétition, de même que d'incroyables photos des paysages, de la vie sauvage, des routes, des populations et surtout de l'ambiance et de ces moments qui ont forgés le mythe du Safari Rally. 312 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -After several fatal accidents in 1986, Group B cars were banned from rallying and Group A - tuned road cars with a minimum production of 5,000 examples became the top formula in the sport. The early years saw an almost complete domination by Lancia, before Toyota became their first proper competito…r. In later years, Mitsubishi, Ford and Subaru joined Toyota as key players, each with cars based on four-wheel drive, turbocharged special editions of their mass production vehicles.The new McKlein book, 'Group A - When rallying created road car icons', covers the ten years from 1987 to 1996. It gives an overview of the major events, the leading cars and crews, the factory teams, the changes of regulations - both technical and sporting - as well as results plus many stories of incidents and occurrences. The books are lavishly illustrated with photographs from the famous McKlein archive. Key Content:- Why the changes had to come.- Initial difficulties and the lack of sufficient hi-tech Group A cars.- Detailed reviews of each World Championship year and the rallies of the WRC.- Tracking the evolution of performance from cars that had been made in thousands.- Revealing the way the rule makers had to run hard to keep up with the evolving technology.- Detailed examination of the major marques and their factory teams.- Top results of World Rally Championship events from 1987 to 1996.- Why Group A came to an end and was replaced by the World Rally Cars that are still running today. 255 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -To this day, many fans still consider Group B to be the epitome of madness on wheels. Never since that era have engineers had such enormous freedom to create extreme rally cars as they did during that fantastic period of the early 1980s.This book tells the story of all the cars developed within Gro…up B, from the Quattros to the outstanding Lancias and Peugeots and to the exotic sports cars from Porsche and Mazda. But all the technical development came to a head in the year 1986, when the euphoria somehow turned into an ungovernable risk. The mischief of engineers, rally organisers, motor sport politicians and fans led to tragic accidents that finally resulted in Group B cars being banned from international rallies.John Davenport, rally-journalist and author of several books on rallying, experienced this era first-hand, as he was Motorsport Director of Austin Rover at the time. His comprehensive knowledge takes the reader on a journey into the fascinating world of these hi-tech rally cars and offers an authoritative insight into the power struggles going on behind the scenes.The book is filled with photographs from the archive of well known rally-photographer Reinhard Klein. They show to best effect the technical details of the cars, the slightly crazy ambiance of the time as well as plenty of action from the special stages.Post-war international rallying has been in a state of almost constant evolution for the last seventy years. The cars have changed as have the rallies and the crews that contest them. This process has been catalogued in a series of books from McKlein under the titles 'Group 2 - the Genesis of World Rallying', 'Group 4 - from Stratos to Quattro' and 'Group A - When rallying created Road Car Icons - 1987-1996'. These volumes cover a period from 1946 to 1996. 256 pp. Englisch.
