Car Racing 1972

Alain Pernot

Car Racing 1972 brings together previously unpublished archives from the DPPI photographic agency in France. It features legendary drivers, leading manufacturers, and photos of the most memorable races of 1972 in France and around the world, including Formula 1 (Grand Prix), Endurance racing (Le Mans, Daytona), and rallying (the Monte Carlo Rally).

Some of the most famous drivers of the era are presented here: Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Ronnie Petersen, Emerson Fittipaldi, François Cevert, and Jacky Ickx (who graces the cover). Each page is a journey through the history of motorsport, combining rare images and vivid stories.

This book will appeal to sports literature enthusiasts and photography lovers alike. Teams include Brabham, Ferrari, March, Tyrrell, Ford, Alpine Renault, Lotus, and McLaren, to name a few. 

Among the books in the series, it stands out for the richness of its narrative and the precision of its visuals.
