Grand Prix World Championship 1962

In this volume, the reader is given a detailed, knowledgeable commentary on every race in the 1962 Grand Prix World Championship. He is taken first to the wind-swept dunes of Zandvoort; then on to the Grand Prix of Monaco with its disastrous opening minutes; the Belgian Grand Prix where the fastest circuit in the world nearly claimed two more victims; the surprise win at Rouen and a near repetition of the Le Mans disaster; Aintree and the British Grand Prix; the terrific duel in Germany where frightful climatic conditions caused a landslide near the circuit; the rout of the Ferraris at Monza; the brilliant showing of Jim Clark in America; and finally to another continent for the Grand Prix of South Africa. In addition to descriptions of the races themselves, Louis T. Stanley deals with virtually every personality in the world of Grand Prix racing. His witty, informative, and outspoken comments form, along with his hundreds of provocative illustrations, a realistic word and picture gallery of contemporary racing in all its aspects. Even viewed alone, Mr. Stanley's pictures present a comprehensive survey of the year's Grand Prix racing. It is remarkable that his camera can capture both the many rare incidents and also the total excitement of the races.
