The 200-plus images in this volume do not neglect the incredible feats of engineering that made the drivers' stories possible: F1 Heroesalso traces the history of Formula One cars from the tube chassis warhorses that dominated the early races, such as those built by Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati, to the modern high-tech automobiles that speed around the track today. A spectacular account of the winners and their extraordinary cars and their duels, but also a story of big defeats and great heroes who, while they did not win the championship, still became legends, such as Gilles Villeneuve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motorsport has many iconic names attached to it. It has many that are celebrated as heroes in their chosen sport. However, what perhaps is less well known is how many of the motorsport icons of the twentieth century carried out acts of real-life bravery, many during war time, but some in selfless acts of bravery in saving the lives of their fellow competitors. Some of the iconic names of motorsport are linked to the great conflicts of the twentieth century. Enzo Ferrari served during World War One, the most revered of the 1920s Bentley Boys were all World War One veterans such as John Duff, Bernard Rubin, Woolf Barnato, Sammy Davis and Glen Kidston. World War One American flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker was an Indianapolis 500 racing driver. Muriel Thompson, Military Medal, who became a World War One ambulance driver, was not only a chauffeur for suffragette Emeline Pankhurst, but raced at Brooklands before the war. Commentator Murray Walker was a World War Two tank commander, fellow commentator Raymond Baxter was a Spitfire pilot who was mentioned in dispatches for bravery. Carroll Shelby was a United States Army Airforce pilot and instructor with a reputation for great leadership. His friend, engineer and racing driver Ken Miles, served throughout the war as a specialist in tank recovery, landing as part of the D-Day operations. These are just a few of the most notable names from a group of men and women who risked all in conflict, before risking all on the track profiled in this book.

Download or read book Motor Racing Heroes written by Robert Newman and published by Haynes Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents 100 short biographies (averaging 1,400 words each) of the author's personal choice of motor racing heroes. It is an eclectic collection as there are some little-known names in among the expected greats, and this is where - we believe - the appeal of this book lies. Racing drivers with particularly colorful or unusual histories are included, such as Woolf Barnato (one of the Bentley Boys), Robert Benoist (the French ace whom the Nazis shot during WW2) and Prince Bira (the Siamese royal who died impoverished on Barons Court underground station in 1985). There are one or two heroes who even the most ardent motor racing enthusiasts will not have heard of, such as David Bruce-Brown, an obscure American driver who was killed in a racing accident in 1912. There are two women from the pre-war era when some females were able to challenge the men: Elisabth Junek (who finished second on the Targa Florio) and Hellé Nice. And there are a few non-drivers, such as Mercedes-Benz team manager Alfred Neubauer and Ecurie Ecosse team owner David Murray.
