An adventure into Formula One during the 1.5 litre era
Porsche in F1, for many of the nowadays Porsche drivers, it seems something
weird. Maybe some of you always hope Porsche will
spend some budget and research in a new F1 team, but I guess we won't see a
factory Porsche in a F1 race ever again. The costs to
develop a F1 car , the wages of the pilots, the costs to participate during
a F1 race would be simply too high.
However, there was a time Porsche participated in the F1 circus. And I mean
participate not just by delivering an engine to a team, but
with their very own development Formula 1 race car.
And finally we Porsche enthusiasts have the opportunity to read all about
the adventures of Porsche in this amazing world of speed. It all started
by converting a Porsche 718 into a monoposto which was quite succesful. But
Porsche always aims high, so they developed a true F1 car, the 804
which was up to now, the very last purely German-manufactured Formula 1
race
car.
McKlein Publishing presents the book "Porsche 718 + 804, an adventure into
Formula One during the 1.5 liter era"' which definitely clears a gap in
most
libraries
of Porsche and F1 enthusiasts. In 228 pages, filled with many previously
unseen pictures , both b/w and full colour, you can read the complete
history of Porsches experiment
in F1. Combine the stories of the people involved with these cars, and lots
of statistics and you gat a rather complete documentation of Porsches
history in F1 in the 60ies.
I guess these book might be a great Xmas or New-Years present for any
Porsche or race enthusiast. You can order the book now for Eur 59.50 (excl.
shipping) at Racing Web Shop
