Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - As Sir Jackie Stewart states in his Foreword, "Pete Lyons was one of the best journalists in Formula 1 at the time I was racing." Lyons himself writes that when he became obsessed with motor racing, "It felt like my true road."He witnessed Chaparral, Lola, McLaren and Porsche create ever-more-monstrous Can-Am beasts to be tamed by the likes of Jim Hall, John Surtees, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, Mario Andretti and Mark Donohue. His cameras, not Elektronisches Buch and typewriter also were there when Tyrrell, Lotus, McLaren and Ferrari were the dominant forces in Formula 1, with Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, Niki Lauda and James Hunt the World Champion drivers.- Early travels, including criss-crossing the USA in his family’s pre-war Rolls-Royce and by Vincent motorcycle in the late 1950s, then discovering Europe’s racing scene as an impecunious wanderer in the early 1960s- Breaking into professional reporting from 1964 for the UK’s Autosport alongside his father Ozzie Lyons, with assignments embracing Indycar, endurance sportscars, Formula 1 and more, and getting to know the great names in these worlds- Falling in love with the Can-Am upon its inception in 1966 and following this "big-banger" racing closely for seven seasons, during which "Riding with Revvie" — laps with 1971 series champion Peter Revson in a McLaren M8F — was among the highlights. Lyons’s travels "on racer road" took him all over North America by Volvo station wagon, Ford van and Honda CB750 motorcycle- Embarking in 1973 upon four seasons of global travels with the Formula 1 "circus" and all the diversions that came with that, including time spent with Emerson Fittipaldi at his home in Brazil and a British rallying odyssey as Denny Hulme’s navigator- Around Europe, Lyons’s means of travel included his Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a VW camper van that doubled as mobile office and hotel, and rented private aircraft that he flew to races himself.- In his post-nomadic life, Lyons has been plying his trade ever since as a writer, photographer and editor Immersed in a golden age of racing, Lyons brought a unique blend of evocative description and fastidious factual detail to his craft, putting his devoted readers at the heart of the action. This captivating memoir will transport you back to those times.
