Le Mans: The Official History of the World's Greatest Motor Race, 1970-79: 3 (Le Mans Official History)

A real gem of a book. If you look at other books from the Le Mans series, it's as good as the others will a detailed description of each cars that ran Le Mans during this time period.

A really entertaining and concise record of a decade at Le Mans which started with so much potential yet struggled later in the decade due to regulation changes and lower quality entries. The book is a perfect record.

Gradually purchasing the complete series. Sums up the period and the atmosphere beautifully

Excellent book. Does exactly what it says on the cover

very pleased

This book is packed with facts and figures, very few behind the scenes stories, lots of pictures, but again very few showing beneath the bodywork.

great era

Another excellent volume in the history of the greatest race on earth. A huge subject, even split into decades, Spurring nevertheless makes it all easily accessible for either a quick dip in and out or sustained reading thanks to a format that covers all the cars, the results and the background politics of each race or decade in easily digestible chunks.Clearly an expert on the race and the characters involved, Spurring's text conveys both the enthusiasm and skepticism you'd expect from a former editor of Autosport magazine. Even the lowliest of runners is reported in an engaging, illuminating way adding depth to races I thought i knew well.The photography is illustrative rather than arty and all the better for it, conveying the atmosphere of the races and the period rather than the skill of the photographer. There are other books for that.Surely now the definitive work on the race, at least in English.
