"Adventure On Wheels"...John Fitch
He was primarily a sportscar racer. He also did a few Grands Prix in the mid'50s. The only US driver ever chosen by Neubauer for the Mecedes-Benz team. Won the Tourist Trophy with Stirling...co-driver with ill-fated Levegh at '55 LeMans...Alpine Rally winner...Sebring and on and on. Very good book, but getting hard to find.
I liked the Phil Hill book, "Yankee Champion", done with William Nolan who, btw, also served as "done with" on the Fitch book.
"My Cars/My Career" Great. Unique.
"Speed With Style"..Peter Revson/Leon Mandel. Good one. Chapters alternate between: "In Peter's Words"/"In Mandel's Words".
Indy-type:
"They Call Me Mister 500"..Andy Granatelli. Fun read. Interesting "life" of the Brothers/Granatelli.
"Indy 500 Mechanic"..Clint Brawner. Long-time chief mechanic. Mario's co-chief in '69. Lots of stories about those who drove for him.
