Ferrari produced some of the most beautiful,
exciting and successful prototype sports cars that competed for
the World Championship during the epic period from 1962 through
1973. During that time Scuderia Ferrari won seven major championships
and developed supremely powerful and agile cars, which often benefited
from the team's experience in Formula 1. The talent and stature
of Ferrari's drivers during this period were second to none, and
most of them combined racing sports cars with careers in Formula
1.
This brilliant span of international
motor racing comes to life here, in the first comprehensive photographic
collection of Ferrari prototype sports cars. Evocative images
- most of which have never before been published - combine with
knowledgeable text and historical overviews to offer insights
into the men and the machines of this glorious era. Every caption
identifies each car's chassis number to allow the reader to closely
follow the competition history of each car as well as the performance
of its drivers.
'Ferrari Prototype Era' will take you
back in time to experience the classic circuits, revolutionary
designs, heroic drivers and aggressive competition that defines
a golden age in sports car racing.
