Autocourse History of the Grand Prix Car 1966-85 By Doug Nye

In 1966, a new set of Formula 1 regulations was adopted for World Championship Grand Prix racing. They matched 3-litre unsupercharged racing engines with 1*5 litre supercharged units. This formula in effect applied until the end of 1985. In this comprehensive survey of the technicalities, triumphs and tribulations behind the design and development of the Grand Prix car, respected racing journalist Doug Nye looks in great detail primarily at the teams and designs which have won the Formula 1 Constructors' World Championship during this 20 season span. After early back-to-back title victories by the Australian Repco V8 engine, the mighty Cosworth DFV V8 dominated for seven years before Ferrari's jewel-like flat-12 took over. Then of course the Cosworth fought back.

Top-quality colour and monochrome photographs and a selection of cutaway drawings and genuine Formula 1 factory drawings - never before revealed in public - make the Autocourse History of the Grand Prix Car a vital addition to every motor racing enthusiast's bookshelf.
