Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time, little was recorded about the activities of Alfa Romeo s World Championship-winning Sports Racing car, the Tipo 33. The model had a long career, as a factory car as well as in private hands from 1967 until 1977. The great Italian motor sport engineer Carlo Chiti designed and ran a prolific number of different models of this Tipo. Unfortunately nothing of the history of these developments was documented at the time, but the authors have managed, after intense investigation and numerous personal interviews, to uncover much about this marvelous sports prototype. The fruits of their labors abound, manifesting as many previously unseen photographs and the personal recollections of the prime movers in the Tipo 33 s career. If you like Alfas, you'll love this book.
Download or read book Alfa Romeo T33 TT 3 written by Ian Wagstaff and published by Porter Press. This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 was produced by Alfa's Autodelta racing department, under the guidance of Carlo Chiti, to compete in the 1972 World Championship for Makes. Hopes were high, as the previously dominant Group 5 racers (including the Porsche 917s and Ferrari 512s) had been outlawed in favour of 3-litre Group 6 cars, such as the Alfa. However, the Alfas struggled to take the fight to the well-developed and reliable Ferrari 312PBs, though scored regular podium positions. The highlight was a second place in the epic Targa Florio Sicilian road race, where Helmut Marko put in a stirring drive to come within seconds of victory. Marko was driving chassis 115.72.002, the most successful of the T33/TT/3 chassis Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 tells the full story of the T33/TT/3, with an emphasis on the fascinating history of chassis 115.72.002, which competed in seven world championship rounds in 1972. The car would later have a unique second career on the race circuits and hill climbs of Greece, before racing in Japan and South Africa prior to an eventual return to Europe, where it is still a frequent competitor in historic events. The unique history and success of 115.72.002 makes it a worthy addition to Porter Press's acclaimed Exceptional Cars series.

Book excerpt: “The Most Famous Mustang in the World,” seen in both Gone in 60 Seconds movies, races to the winner’s circle for her very own deluxe hardcover! Eleanor is the sleek and sexy star of not one, but two movies, and now she’s the subject of in-depth, gorgeously illustrated “biography.” Eleanor: Gone in 60 Seconds, written by James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 author Will Lawrence, goes behind the scenes and under the hood of the cars – both Ford Mustangs – that powered the 1974 cult-favorite indie film, Gone in 60 Seconds, and that actioner’s 2000 remake that starred Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie. Lawrence, in the first-ever authorized account of the fabled automotive movie star, whisks readers back in time to the car’s conception by H.B. “Toby” Halicki, who wrote, directed, produced and starred in the original Gone in 60 Seconds – and staged its insane 40-minute chase sequence, the longest such scene in movie history. Halicki’s Eleanor was a yellow 1971 Ford Mustang Sportsroof, while mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Dominic Sena tapped a 1967 Mustang Fastback as their Eleanor for the blockbuster remake. Befitting a car that’s not just a movie star, but also a work of art, Eleanor: Gone in 60 Seconds is packed with hundreds of stunning photos capturing image of the cars themselves, as well as posters, production documents, premiere invitations, and other fascinating ephemera – much of it published for the very first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book of over 500 pages Ermanno Cozza, the true historic memory of Maserati, passionately tells a story packed with behind the scenes truths – right up to today – that have never before been published. He covers half a century of the company's life, which he lived in close contact with the great motor racing champions, ingenious technicians, designers and, naturally, company life as well, of course, as the unforgettable cars. A carefully chosen collection of photographs and other illustrations complete this invaluable book. "Over 66 years have passed since I walked through the gates of Officine Alfieri Maserati (the Alfieri Maserati Workshops). It was in 1951, and in all that time I can truly say that Maserati took hold of my heart. The factory, the men and the cars have indelibly marked moments in my life. Today, many people consider me to be the living memory of Maserati and, in that way, take me back to those earlier days. In this book, I have tried to convey the excitement of living the Maserati legend so that, step by step, I cover the most important moments of my long and extraordinary experience: the excitement of participation, the joy and pain, the cars and the defeats, the ambitions and the professional difficulties. While I have always enjoyed good health, over the years I have been infected with the Maserati 'virus' of which I believe I have been a carrier all this time – and it is a virus of which I never want to be cured" Ermanno Cozza

Download or read book Marquis de Portago written by Ed McDonough and published by Mercian Manuals Limited. This book was released on 2006 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish Marquis Alfonso de Portago swaggered across the international motor racing stage for a stunningly short time, but left behind a legend and legacy like no other racing driver before or after. His tragic and high-speed death in the Mille Miglia ended that event, and took the lives of nine spectators as well as his own and his friend and co-driver. That alone was enough to guarantee a place in racing notoriety. But motor racing was only one of his many achievements. He had spent years as an international equestrian. He twice ran at the Aintree Grand National as well as the Gold Cup. His unceasing curiosity and daring bravado saw him tackle the Cresta run at St. Moritz and his Spanish Olympic bobsleigh team for 1956 finished fractions of a second out of the medals. Over the last 50 years, many myths and fantasies have found their way into print about the nature of the man and his activities, on and off the sporting field.
