1 1/2-litre GP Racing 1961-1965
This is the story of a Grand Prix formula that no British constructor wanted but which became one that they would almost totally dominate. Such a perception ignores the significant technical developments that took place that are now taken for granted, such as monocoque chassis construction. It has remained largely overlooked due to the perception that the cars were underpowered and hence unspectacular.
Over 200 photos and contemporary technical material outline the engineering achievements as well as the exploits of the constructors. It saw the career of Stirling Moss come to a premature end, but in his absence the rise to prominence of a new breed of British drivers in Jim Clark, Graham Hill and John Surtees. With a foreword by Raymond Baxter.
