5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide to F1, 8 Feb 2007
By Richard Pascal "thegrid" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In three volumes covering the history of Formula 1, the books contains loads of photos, numerous drawings and plenty of facts about the sport. Its big and heavy but, for the serious fan, I believe its worth it.

This book is the result of 14 years of work by the author and is made up of three volumes. This third edition covers the history of Formula 1 racing from its inception in 1950 through to Alonso's second title in October 2006. It contains over 1200 photographs, some by top F1 snapper Bernard Cahier who also writes in the book. The book allows readers to review F1`s evolution and every team that has taken part in the Championship in some detail with excellent drawing of every teams' cars over the years. Its coverage of the drivers is a bit too brief and as its suppose to be an Encyclopedia of F1 it should have covered some of the other personalities within the sport like Prof Watkins,Balestre,etc,which sadly it doesn't

Most of the two main volumes then concentrate on all the teams that took part in the World Championship over the years which it does very well. The third volume is given over to the stats from of all Grand Prix from 1950 to the present day, lap charts, times . Finally there is also an interview with Nigel Roebuck and another from Cahier.

Generally then its a very good book, on the downside its expensive at £65 but for such a piece of work that's probably a fair price. If you are a fan of F1 its a great reference guide to the last 57 years. Its only real failing, its massive 10lb weigh aside, is, as with any book about the F1 championship, by March 2007 its out of date!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Reference , 5 Sep 2008
By Mr. A. Fountain (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I brought this amazing set, it was arguably my deal of the year. I spent just £60 on a set of books which many people worse off than I would have willingly paid out double that. It was an outstanding deal for what in my view is the complete & almost up to date (it can never be completely for obvious reasons), encyclopdiea of anything and everything in Formula One.

Across three books and nearly 900 pages, this set provides not only detailed, authoritative writings on all the drivers and the teams since the inception of the Formula One world championship since 1949 and the complete story on the advance of motor racing since the beginning in 1898.

It provides thousands of colour photographs. It provides masses of information on every single car and driver ever to compete, so you can look up anything you want to.

The complete final third book, provides the complete record of every race result - including the lap charts, and retirements.

The only gripe that I have, and it's a small one - is that some of the lap charts are copied over a few years (mostly in the latter part of the 90's and early 00's.

But all in all it is an oustanding read, it provides people with imagination and inspiration, and every sliver of info you could ever want - and then some!
