I've had this work sitting on my shelf for awhile and decided that it was finally time to give it a read and it turns out to be a surprisingly dense book. This is a commentary on how the writers seem to have hunted down everyone available who was associated with these cars and how so much of the management of this program was in the head of chief engineer Carlo Chitti that it's often hard to gain an understanding of what was really going on. If you enjoy the history of sports car racing this show more is well worth reading; it is fortunate for the enthusiast that it's been reprinted as the original book will cost you an arm and a leg! show less
The story of the Tipo 33's development and racing career including the Stradale and concept cars based on the Tipo 33. Includes photographs, appendix of drivers, competition events, and location of Stradale chassis'.
