Product Description

Review

Hot4s.com.au (Australia), May 2007 Yes, you did read right. The cost on this puppy is $74.95, but it's quite a special book for those in the know. You see, it details the rise and subsequent fall of the great British Racing Motors, which was something of an emotional roller-coaster for Pommie pride throughout the '50s and '60s. The sheer research that must have gone into this thing, not to mention trying to pull all these photos from archives and what have you, must have been absolutely astronomical, and if you're a fan of British motor-racing history, you'll no doubt turn every page with either a tear in your eye or a hand on your heart. If you can stomach the price, it's well worth the effort.

Synopsis

This volume reveals the tortured history of Britain's most emotionally charged and passionately operated Formula 1 racing team. The first volume covered the birth of BRM, and took readers through the years of the troublesome V16 cars and the 4-cylinder 2.5 litre models of the 1950's. This second volume of a four-volume BRM history takes the story forward into the V8 era with the last of the cars built around a tubular chassis. It covers the most successful period in the Formula 1 team's career, including the World Championship won with Graham Hill in 1962, the first two of his five wins at Monaco and the first two of his three victories in the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. Having access to the BRM company files, the authors have been able to delve deeply into the emotion-charged background to the BRM team's final emergence as a Grand Prix front runner, to their involvement in the Tasman races in Australasia and to their first foray at Le Mans with the Rover-BRM gas turbine cars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the wait, 5 Jun 2003

By	Peter Fenelon - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

What was originally intended to be the second and final volume of DCN's BRM history now turns out to be the second volume of four, covering the difficult transition from front to rear-engined cars, the unsuccessful BRM-Climax and the spaceframe V8s - the cars that took Graham Hill to BRM's first Championship. The Tasman and privateer career of the GP cars is also covered in detail.

The gas-turbine Le Mans cars receive some attention, as does the P670 four-wheel drive experimental car.

As with anything Doug writes, this is a work of racing scholarship. Ably assisted by Tony Rudd who was largely responsible for designing and managing the cars, this is an immensely detailed, immensely readable history of an important transitional period in the team's history. The story is told through contemporary documents, reminiscences, race reports and fascinating photography.

Basically, if you have volume 1 you've probably already bought this. If you don't, you should go and get both and start looking out for 3 and 4 as soon as possible (3 is nearing completion and covers the V8 monocoques; 4 covers the H16, V12s and Can-Am cars).

This is probably the longest-awaited racing book for a decade or so, and you really do owe it to yourself to get hold of a copy if you've any interest at all in BRM. It's a labour of love - the attention to detail and fine writing make this a book that you'll derive many hours of pleasure from.

Typography, design and dust-jacket exactly match Volume 1, too.
