An exhaustively thorough survey of GP history,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete History of Grand Prix Motor Racing (Hardcover)
I picked this book up at a local shop a few years back. The author chronicles the evolution of GP racing on a year by year basis. There are plenty of illustrations, maps, and photographs. Each season is recounted in a very readable anecdotal form. My only critique of the book would be the lack of summary tables in terms of points scored by teams and drivers. Otherwise, when my friends an I have a disagreement about F1, this is the book we refer to in order to settle the score.

Specialist book, not to be underrated.,

This review is from: The Complete History of Grand Prix Motor Racing (Hardcover)
A very good book for F1 enthusiasts, it is not just a bland run through of the races, it is a very readable technical review of each year with very informative tables on car weights, engine power etc. If you have other books in your collection on the races and the circuits this book is an excellent edition as it offers a different perspective. In other words if you want to avoid the very expensive autocourse annuals this book offers an excellent technical summary.

Every year from 1894 to 1996, all in one volume!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete History of Grand Prix Motor Racing (Hardcover)
An amazingly complete account, this book covers every season of European top-level racing from the Paris rally of 1894 through the 1996 Grand Prix season. Each year contains an account of technical developments, who the top drivers were and interesting (and fun) anecdotes about how the season progressed. It also includes performance and race statistics for all the major marques. In my opinion, this book is a must for fans of the history of motor racing.

A good book for F1 fans,
By Dr. M. Goncalves - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete History of Grand Prix Motor Racing (Hardcover)
This is a good book on F1 history, with plenty of detailed technical and apisodic information concerning teams, drivers and cars. The author shows a profound knowledge on the subject of F1 grand prix racing, and the book is a very good source of season by season information, from 1950 to 1996. It will please all fans of this most important category of car racing, although an updated edition is now needed.
