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. Among the books in the series, it stands out for the richness of its narrative and the precision of its visuals. The year 1972 was not like any other: Not only was it the longest on the Gregorian calendar – because it was one day and two leap seconds longer than usual – but there was also a lot going on in other respects, especially on the world’s racetracks. A time when crash barriers stood menacingly close, color photography was just taking off and photographers were still at the edge of the track to capture the one, all-telling moment. And it is precisely these images that “Car Racing 1972” from the publisher “Cercle d’Art” brings together. Text in English and French.
