Grand Prix World Championship 1964

The 1964 Grand Prix season produced the tensest struggle for the title since the World Championship was inaugurated. The result was in the balance until the final Grand Prix in Mexico and then only decided on the very last lap. In Grand Prix 1964, the author, Louis T. Stanley, once again takes the reader through the excitement and drama of every round, a trip that takes in Monaco, Holland, Belgium, France, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, United States of America, and Mexico. Louis Stanley has the art of saying much in very few words and a perceptive eye for the unusual and significant; a rare ability to freeze the emotion of a moment; a withering pen when criticism is needed. On the pictorial side Grand Prix is a mine of entertainment, being illustrated with outstanding photographs taken by the author. Additional features include the annual ranking list of drivers; the naming of the twelve outstanding personalities of the year; appraisement of the Honda; glimpses of Austria and Mexico in Travel Album; a memory-laden chapter recalling such men as Mike Hawthorn, Jean Behra, Harry Schell, Peter Collins, Wolfgang von Trips, Ron Flockhart; pen-portraits of leading racing figures that give an insight into the personalities of the men themselves; a glimpse of the wives of Grand Prix drivers; an entertaining chapter of analytical observation on masculine racing physiognomy, and so on. Grand Prix touches on every aspect of the World Championship scene—a contemporary racing volume, the only record of its kind.
