Ferrari GTO The Classic Experience

Here, as never before, is the inside story of one of the greatest motor cars of all time. It is a story told largely in the words of those who made it: the drivers, mechanics, entrants and others who put the Ferrari GTO on track. This book reveals the joy of driving the GTO, frustrations of running it, behind the scenes wheeling and dealing and even how some races were rigged. Those who tell their tales include the likes of World Champions Phil Hill and John Surtees, Innes Ireland, David Piper, Olivier Gendebien, Jean Guichet, Michael Salmon, Jack Sears, Nino Vaccarella and a host of others. In this unique book, people who lived the GTO experience give their account of the car's merits and foibles, its victories and its disasters. Some put the record straight on events erroneously recorded elsewhere while others reveal for the first time the fascinating and sometimes controversial truth behind the legend. The Ferrari GTO is rightly regarded as an all time classic car and this book provides a unique insight into its character and its attendant lifestyle. Here we are privileged to share a classic experience with those men who made the legend.
