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.
