Racing Sports Cars

Memories of the Fifties
Art Evans

Art Evans’ latest overview of US sports car racing is extremely thorough and covers 74 models, with drivers describing their personal experiences with the car in question. Each chapter also includes a short biography of a driver associated with that particular car; the likes of Enzo Ferrari, Ferry Porsche and John Cooper are all covered. Some of the photos on the 50 marques, from Abarth to Veritas, are press shots, but there are also some stunning on-track images. Although very cheap for the amount of information it offers, it’s a shame the book is not better laid out; the text and images are put together in such a manner that you feel as though you are, at times, struggling through a school textbook.
