|  | The Racing Edition July 2011 |
| Dear ASD, From Formula 1 to sports cars, the auto racing season is in full swing. As summer wears on, you're even bound to encounter wannabe race car drivers on the freeway on the way home from work (it's funny how speeds on the way into work are always slower). We all have a need for speed. But few of us get closer to a race track than the stands. That's why our racing titles are in such demand. Mind-blowing photography. Riveting first-hand accounts. Detailed behind-the-scenes history. They all work together to make you feel like you're in the middle of the action. Take a look at these new books to get a feel of racing at its best. Then drive over to our Facebook page and tell us about your need for speed. What's the fastest you've ever driven? And where were you at the time? And did you get busted? |

Live One of Racing's Biggest Rivalries
|  In the summer of 1963, Ford was close to an agreement that would have given it a 50% ownership stake in Ferrari. But Enzo Ferrari called off the deal at the eleventh hour. And Ford set out to beat the Italian sports car company at its own game.
This new book shares the title of Anthony Pritchard's landmark book about this fabulous aspect of 1960s sports car racing - the big contest, played out above all at Le Mans, between Ford and Ferrari. The original book, which was published in 1968, when the battle between these two great marques was still ongoing, forms the basis of the new project, but the text is completely rewritten and much expanded to include material that was not available at the time.
Above all, Ford versus Ferrari is incomparable visually, and contains an exceptionally comprehensive and well-balanced selection of photographs, both color and black and white, portraying the two teams and their rivals, the races, drivers, engineers and mechanics in the greatest detail on and off the track, in the paddock at race meetings, in factories and in workshops.
It's a story of underdogs and their dreams, perfect for summer reading. |
Laugh with a Racing Hero
|  Fans of British auto racing know that Tiff Needell is a legend in racing circles worldwide. For nearly 25 years Tiff has been the television face of auto racing, first on Top Gear - where he worked alongside Jeremy Clarkson - and then on Channel Five's Fifth Gear. Before taking his turn in television, Tiff had an incredibly varied and long motor racing career that saw him reach the heights of a Grand Prix drive at Monaco and escape unharmed from a horrific 200 mph crash at Le Mans. Written with honesty and humor, Tiff Gear is the engaging story of Needell's life around cars and motor racing. Here's something you might not know about Tiff: He drives a BMW 545i, but his dream car is a McLaren F1. What's your dream car? Join the discussion on our Facebook page. |
