Sinossi
The glistening silver centerpiece of this unique tribute to Germany's racing cars and drivers is the decade of the 1930s, when the Third Reich controversially backed motor sports to flaunt its skill and power. With its historic contests and sensational racing cars that decade is still classed as motor racing's Golden Age. This is one book that is certain to have motor racing experts and fans thoroughly exhilarated, enticed, and eager for the next installment.

German Racing Silver - Drivers Cars and Triumphs of German Motor Racing
Da: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Motor racing has always had a habit of turning national stereotypes into expensive engineering projects. The Italians brought passion, the British perfected organised chaos, the French pioneered the sport. and the Germans arrived carrying slide rules, precision measuring equipment and a quietly unsettling determination to win by applying mathematics until everyone else went home. German Racing Silver is Karl Ludvigsen?s magnificent tribute to the extraordinary history of German motor racing, charting the drivers, manufacturers and technological breakthroughs that established Germany as one of the dominant forces in international competition. From the legendary Silver Arrows of the 1930s to post-war endurance racing, Grand Prix success and modern motorsport, this richly illustrated volume explores more than a century of speed, innovation and relentless engineering ambition. Ludvigsen is one of motoring history?s most respected authors, and it shows. Rather than simply presenting race results and championship tables, he places each era in its wider historical context, examining the remarkable machines produced by companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Auto Union, Porsche and BMW, along with the gifted engineers and fearless drivers who transformed them from beautifully machined collections of metal into legends. The result is a history that is every bit as fascinating for its personalities as for its machinery. Of course, even the most meticulously engineered racing car remains gloriously incapable of reading the script. For every masterpiece that rewrote the record books, there was another that chose the least convenient moment imaginable to shed an important mechanical component. Motor racing has always been the fine art of spending staggering sums of money in pursuit of fractions of a second, all while pretending that reliability is merely an optional extra. The Germans simply became exceptionally good at making the improbable look almost routine. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout, with superb photographs that capture everything from the thunderous Grand Prix monsters of the pre-war years to sleek sports prototypes and Formula One champions. Whether your interest lies in cutting-edge engineering, legendary circuits, famous drivers or the fascinating evolution of motorsport technology, there is enough here to keep even the most dedicated enthusiast happily occupied for hours. Condition: Very Good. A handsome copy that has clearly enjoyed a considerably easier existence than the racing machines it celebrates. Clean, well cared for and entirely ready for its next owner, it remains in excellent reading condition. Unlike certain historic Grand Prix engines, it requires neither specialist mechanics nor a complete rebuild before delivering outstanding performance?just a comfortable chair and an appreciation for the intoxicating blend of speed, precision and beautifully engineered excess that is German motor racing.
