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.
