More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Following the success of its sister volume, which covered the 1970s, this book features anothr classic era as Forumla 1 - attracting growing interest via TV - became a mainstream sport. The 1980s saw the emergence of McLaren and Williams as the dominant teams. Normally aspirated engines gave way to more powerful turbocharged units, before the regulations changed in 1989 to favour non-turbo motors again. The defining drivers were Gilles Villeneuve, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. The 1980s saw the demise of the privateer entrants as technology and costs escalated.

A brilliant compilation of high quality and artistic photographs of the era. Each photo is backed by concise but interesting text as well as each year having a summary and a page showing results.
Highly recommended
If you like this format then "Formula 1 in camera 1970-1979" is just as good.
If you're interested in this era (the 80's) try "The turbo era" by Alan Henry. Excellent

This is just one from a great series of books on motor sport in years past (the exception being the BTCC).
Good use of images and informative extended captions mean it is easy to browse and you will learn something each time. Background details from a clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic author bring the machines, personalities and period to life.

The 70s and 80s were my era in F1 so the images in this book are both stunning in quality and bring back a whole range of memories with plenty of notes to help the ageing brain! For me a 'must buy' for any F1 fan (unless you have the Autocourse series of course!!)
