Motor Racing - Reflections of a Lost Era is ranked one of the 76 Best Motorsport Books of All Time by BookAuthority.
A defining era in motorsport is documented in words and intimate photographs, both black and white and colour, from the mid-1950s through the 1960s, when motor racing was still accessible to all, and the 1970s when overt sponsorship and television changed the sport for ever.
This book is an evocative and nostalgic look at a defining era in motorsport, which is documented in words and intimate photographs, both black and white and colour. It takes the reader from the mid-1950s through the 1960s, when motor racing was still accessible to all, and into the 1970s when overt sponsorship and television changed the sport for ever.
Both cars and personalities come under the close scrutiny of Anthony Carter’s lens at long abandoned but fondly remembered venues; the old Nürburgring, Reims and Rouen vie with today’s circuits such as Le Mans, Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
