Johnny Tipler

La Carrera Panamericana (eBook, ePUB)

"The World's Greatest Road Race!"

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through photos of the stunning countryside and cities visited en route, action shots and parc ferme, interviews with drivers and key personnel, plus vivid narrative, readers are transported to Mexico for an eye-witness account of the fantastic Carrera Panamericana, "The World's Greatest Road Race". It's a tale of two halves: the early years, full of excitement, glamour, financial intrigue and tragedy; a time when major players in the auto industry got in on the act. Banned after the 1954 race because of fatalities, the PanAm was reinstated in 1987, and the modern incarnation for classic cars forms the second half of the book. Includes over 400 images, maps of modern and original 1950s routes, plus results of events.
