The story of a race – A race in history

This book is part of a new collection of books that unveils « freeze-frames » from the great movie of motor racing history. Its purpose is to explore a particular weekend, the choice of which depends above all on the authors’ ability to gather the most original and complete documentation possible: photos, plans, programs, drawings, period reports and testimonies.

All the historical disciplines are likely to be approached: F1, F2, F3, FJ, FF, sport-prototypes, GT, touring, cups of mark, rally, etc. If the program includes other events of a different nature (motorcycling, cycling…), they are reported with the same concern for precision.

The considerable preparatory work required to produce such works means that each author has had to rely on other contributors to benefit from the pooling of personal networks and rare documentary resources. It is thanks to their remarkable collaborative spirit that this project was possible.

This bilingual French-English book is aimed at motor racing history enthusiasts, those nostalgic for the 80s and the famous 24 Hours circuit, and all those who enjoyed the first titles in the collection:

  • 1962 - Weekend in Monaco
  • 1968 - Weekend in Rouen
