2010 marks the 60th Anniversary of the World Championship for Drivers, and Autocourse is marking the occasion with the ultimate record of the past six decades of Grand Prix Racing.
Written by Alan Henry, the internationally respected motor racing correspondent who has covered the sport for more than four decades and has been the editor of Autocourse since 1988. He has attended more than 500 World Championship races and is one of the few journalists to have the inside line with some of the sport's most powerful figures, including powerbrokers Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley, Ron Dennis and Frank Williams. His first hand knowledge and unique perspective combine to bring an unrivalled authority to this magnificent history.
The book is beautifully illustrated with magnificent photography from the Cahier Archive, it contains hundreds of stunning images, many never published before as they have been researched specifically for this title.
Bernard Cahier was an outstanding photo-journalist who was also a friend and confidant of many of the drivers for more than three decades. His evocative images bring back to life Grand Prix racing from an era now long lost. His son Paul-Henri, is one of a handful of photographers to have lifted motorsport photography into an art form, and the quality and eye for the unusual are presented here in glorious colour.
