Gabbard highlights a special segment of the automotive worldsports and GT racing cars. Mostly of European origin, these beautiful performance-oriented machines are taking to tracks everywhere. Included in this pictorial odyssey are magnificent vehicles from Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Maserati, etc. Historical details, technological developments, competitive battles, and profiles of some of the people who built the machines, coupled with outstanding photographs, enable the reader to almost hear the engines and smell the oil. There are 250 color photos of the cars and detail shots of engines, interiors, and other components. From Riverside to Watkins Glen vintage auto races are run with auto buffs everywhere cheering the return of these exciting cars. Here they are. Susan Ebershoff-Coles, Indianapolis-Marion Cty. P.L.
