“Begin
to read as little as
one page, glimpse just
one photo and you’ll be
hooked.
Pour yourself
some coffee, brew a
cuppa tea, or maybe
uncork a bottle
of wine
and curl into your favorite
chair. You won’t be going
anywhere
for a while.”

the first time, there is a complete reference and history of the world
sports car championships covering every qualifying round since the inception
of the series in 1953.
The

that has participated. Featured in this 2,300 page compendium are:

chronology of the development of racing sports cars.
• An era-by-era, year-by-year, race-by-race narrative from 1953
through 1998.
• Complete results of each event, from the hundreds of entries
in the Mille Miglia
to the many obscure rounds of the Grand Touring Cups of
the 1960s.
• Chassis numbers of most entrants.
• Complete coverage of the official FIA Sports Car Championship,
plus the classic
“Triple Crown” endurance races of Le Mans, Daytona,
and Sebring. Also included are
the recent BPR, ISRS, WSC, and FIA GT rounds.
• Diagrams of each circuit, including each variation.
• Illustrated with more than 600 photographs, including the works
of Cahier, Goddard,
and Friedman, plus dozens of others—most never before
published!
• Annual statistical summaries plus a comprehensive appendix
of all marques and drivers.
