4.0 out of 5 stars A great insight in to Lotus's Racing past, 30 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lotus Racing Cars: Club Racers to World Champions 1948- 1968 (Sutton's Photographic History of Transport) (Paperback)

This is a great book for those of you who are interested in Lotus's racing history. It starts in the 60's and continues thorugh Lotus's racing history to this day. The number of pictures in it is brilliant and it's obvious the author has gone to great lenghts to get such a wide variety of pictures. if there was one thing about this book, then it is dont expect it to include much about the esprit, elise etc., as there are about 5 pages in the back about them. However a great book over all.

4.0 out of 5 stars One for Two, 23 April 2001

By kyle kaulback - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Lotus Racing Cars: Club Racers to World Champions 1948- 1968 (Sutton's Photographic History of Transport) (Paperback)

John Tipler is no stranger to motoring publications, having to his credit two books on Lotus (Seven and Elise) and a host of books on other marques. Lotus Racing Cars is the latest in his bibliography and consists of two volumes, one spanning the years 1948-1968 and the other 1968-2000. They are reviewed together because the second is a continuation of the first. Why these books were not published in one volume is not clear, I can not imagine anyone buying one volume and not the other.

The subject matter has been extensively covered in other volumes, notably Nye's Theme Lotus, Pritchard's Lotus, All the Cars, and Taylor's The Lotus Book, so little new ground is covered. But the value of the books lies in the format and content. All of the racing cars, from Formula 1 icons to also rans in the minor formulae, are covered. The photos are extensive and appear to have never been published in the compendium of Lotus literature. Tipler includes anecdotal information from those who were there, including notables like Jim Enruweit. Of particular interest are the John Player Special Years where Tipler was on the inside as part of the John Player Special promotion team. Having read all of the previously published books on Lotus and its racing cars, I can say that there is a plethora of detail information that sheds insight into the ups and downs of Team Lotus.

Overall these volumes are a worthy contribution to the annals of Lotus history. The only drawback is the two-volume format. Tipler has clearly shown his knowledge of and dedication to the marque. I'm looking forward to his upcoming book on the Lotus 25/33.
