Meet the Men Who Raced into History
Rare photos and insightful text pull you into the triumphs, tragedies and destinies of grand prix drivers of one of F1’s most golden yet blackest eras. See for yourself the gnawing tensions of life-and-death racing, and witness intimate moments not possible to capture today. Mary Heglar saw the inside of early F1 as few ever have. Armed with a camera, tape recorder and press credentials, she worked F1 back when journalists were allowed to roam the pits—access unheard of these days. The world of Formula One was (and still is) a closed universe, sealed inside its own pressure-cooker bubble. But you can step inside simply by opening this book. WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT HER EARLIER BOOK, THE GRAND PRIX CHAMPIONS: Mario Andretti called her book “an absorbing portrayal” in his review in the Allentown, PA Call-Chronicle. In the Indianapolis News, reviewer Bill Pittman wrote that “[the author] knows of what she writes. Crisp, authoritative, and informed.” “Mary Heglar is an extremely perceptive and talented writer who is able to convey a feeling of warmth and personal interest in the lives of those about whom she writes.” C.B. in Antique Automobile.
