In 1999, a new team entered the Formula 1 fray with the intention of challenging the long-established dominance of mainstays like Williams, Ferrari, McLaren and Benetton. That team, British American Racing, is a product of the energy and vision of Craig Pollock-and the realization of a lifelong dream for the enterprising Canadian. This book from leading F1 scribe Alan Henry and top motorsport photographer Gianni Giansanti traces the development of BAR from conception and development through testing and its first races in the demanding world of Grand Prix auto racing. Mainly pictorial in nature, the book features photographs of the cars being designed, built and tested, as well as images of the team's state-of-the-art facilities and key personalities like Pollock and Jacques Villeneuve. The text examines Pollock's background and his vision for BAR, and the story of how he brought together the various technical and personnel elements needed to build a F1 team.
