Ferrari. Race to Immortality
Bought this for Christmas, £4.99 on Amazon, it is money well spent.
It contains nothing new n the way of who, what, when and where, but has a lot of full colour footage from the time, 1950's, and contributions from drivers of the day. As a true reflection of the spirit, and attitudes of the period it is excellent, and I thoroughly recommend it especially for those who regard today's drivers as heroes. It does tend to dwell overlong on the fatalities rather than the actual history of Ferrari, but certainly explains why tickets have the warning, 'Motor Racing is Dangerous' on the back.
It you want to understand why us older folk still see Fangio et al as the greatest, watch this.
Cheers,
Bauble (Who lived through the era)
