This penetrating and dramatic account of a pivotal era in the history of Ferrari's legendary Grand Prix team centers round the relationship between the pushy and ambitious young Niki Lauda, the team's number one driver from 1974-77, and the team's management headed by the autocratic and often irascible Enzo Ferrari. Alan Henry charts Lauda's emergence as a World Championship contender for 1975, followed by his fiery accident in the 1976 German Grand Prix, his fight back to regain the title in 1977 and his abrupt departure from the team at the end of that year. The author's vivid inside story of Ferrari's dominance during the Lauda years, and his account of the creative, sometimes destructive tensions within the team, will make his book essential reading for anyone who follows Formula 1 and its history.Hardcover, 10-1/4 x 7-1/2, 192 pp, 50 color, 140 b/w

Mick Walker. Fifteen world titles - eight at 500cc - and twelve Isle of Man TT victories in an extraordinary 17-year career make Giacomo Agostini the most successful racing motorcyclist in the history of the sport. His precocious talent and the courage and flair he demonstrated as a rider throughout his long career marked him out from all his contemporaries. Yet, until now, no full-length study of his spectacular career has been published in English. Agostini turned briefly to motor racing after he retired from motorcycles, then went into motorcycle team management with Yamaha and Cagiva, and was closely involved in the design of the MV Agusta F4 superbike. Hardcover - 8'x 10-1/2' - 224 pp - 400 b/w

Christopher Hilton. The worst crash in motor racing history - killing more than 80 people - was produced by a ferocious and haunting combination of circumstances: nationalism, raw speed, the nature of a 24-hour race, and chance. The crash drew in Mike Hawthorn, the blond playboy from Farnham, in a Jaguar, and Juan-Manuel Fangio, one of the greatest drivers of all, in a Mercedes. A crowd of 250,000 watched hypnotised as Hawthorn set out to break Fangio, the two cars going faster and faster... and faster. Another English playboy, Lance Macklin, was caught up in the crash in his Austin-Healey, along with a 50-year-old Frenchman driving under the assumed name of Pierre Levegh. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It cost him his life, even as his car was torn to pieces that scythed into the dense crowd.Hardcover - 7'x 9-3/4' - 256 pp - 30 b/w, 30 diagrams
