Thank you Ed, to tell a true and magnificent story....!

The Scuderia Filipinetti fantastic story happend in probably the best era of car racing...the sixties. The only ecurie to enter (sometimes in the same event)cars from the three big rivals, Ferrari, Ford and Porsche! Ed Heuvink take you with extreme details into the cars, the races and the drivers of that unique Swiss racing team. I was very lucky to be a mechanic at Le Mans in 1966, on the Scuderia Ford GT40. Those were magic years that I will never forget. Phil Henny
A little bit disappointing
15 Mar 2005
I bought this book because it is about a very interesting subject of the 60s motor racing scene. It shows an attractive layout and contains lots of rare pictures not to be found elsewhere which makes the purchase worthwhile. But the information is a little bit disappointing. There is few more than a chronological description of the races which the Scuderia attended and the cars and the drivers. These facts you can find elsewhere. The book contains hardly background information which cannot be found in other sources. In addition there are more but a few errors about the facts. After all: My English isn't perfect but the author's isn't either.
As a whole considering the price a little bit disappointing and no more than 3 stars.
