Le Corse della Vita/The Races of Life

Product description

The 1960s were a distant memory for car racing. Legendary drivers still existed, though we’ve almost forgotten them now. Construction techniques were evolving rapidly and haphazardly, the tracks were unchanged, and how many drivers lost their lives on those tracks without run-off areas or metal barriers. Safety was a foreign concept, and every start was almost a gamble on their lives.

It was in those years that Jackie Stewart and then the GPDA (Grand Prix Drivers Association) began their crusade for greater safety on circuits and in racing.

This book intends to remember those years and that evolution through a collection of the author’s photos.
