Delve into Formula One’s most iconic rivalries with stunning
photography, insight from celebrated F1 journalist Tony Dodgins and a
foreword by nine-time grand prix winner Mark Webber.
At the heart of Formula One lies the blistering contests and feuds
between the drivers. The drama, personality and thrill of the sport is
borne of these fierce duels, where only the fastest and savviest
survive.
The rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen is one of the
fiercest we have seen in Formula One in decades. Incendiary both on and
off the track, the battles between the seven-time world champion and
the hard-driving Dutchman have only served to highlight the importance
of these dramatic conflicts to the sport.
In Formula One: The Rivals, Dodgins identifies the most prominent
rivalries since the championship’s inception in 1950, including the
feud between Hamilton and Verstappen. This highly illustrated book
explores the dramatic collisions between drivers vying for the top
spot, the bitter wars of words as tension runs high and the
controversial decisions that have captivated viewers and delivered
truly thrilling racing.
From the slow burn of intense dislike between Ayrton Senna and Alain
Prost to the verbal barbs dished out by Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet
to the clash between James Hunt and Niki Lauda that inspired a
Hollywood blockbuster, the rivalries include:
- Hakkinen vs Schumacher

- Mansell vs Piquet
- Prost vs Lauda
- Prost vs Senna
- Hunt vs Lauda

‘A journey that I don’t think could be made again today’. It
was this comment by Sir David Attenborough on the fiftieth
anniversary of the iconic First Overland expedition that became an
irresistible challenge for filmmaker and adventurer Alex Bescoby.
In 1955, Attenborough, then a young TV producer, was approached by
six recent university graduates determined to drive the entire
length of ‘Eurasia’, from London to Singapore. It was the
unclimbed Everest of motoring – many had tried, none had
succeeded. Sensing this time might be different, Attenborough gave
the expedition enough film reel to cover their attempt. The
19,000-mile journey completed by Tim Slessor and the team
captivated a nation emerging from postwar austerity. Tim’s book,
The First Overland, soon became the bible of the overlanding
religion. Inspired by the First Overland, Alex made contact with
now eighty-six-year-old Tim and together they planned an epic
recreation of the original trip, this time from Singapore to
London. Their goal was to complete the legendary journey started
more than sixty years ago in the original ‘Oxford’ Land Rover.
In awe of the unstoppable Tim, and haunted by his own
grandfather’s declining health, Alex and his team soon find
themselves battling rough roads, breakdowns and Oxford’s
constantly leaky roof to discover a world changed for the better
– and worse – since the first expedition.
The British Motor Corporation's 1100 and 1300 model range was
amongst the most successful in the Corporation's history, selling
more than 2.1 million of all types between its introduction in 1962
and its demise in 1974. World-wide, it was sold under eight
different marque names and in two-door saloon, four-door saloon,
two-door estate, and five-door hatchback forms - and very nearly as
a van as well. In Britain, it was the country's best-selling car
between 1962 and 1971, being beaten just once (in 1967) by the Ford
Cortina. BMC 1100 and 1300 looks at the design and development of a
model range that at the time confirmed BMC as a pioneer of new
automotive ideas and had a profound impact on other manufacturers.
It covers not only the full standard model range, but special
conversions, cars built abroad, and owning and running the cars
today.

The universally themed book titled, 'The Karmic Car Cycles', is a
hilarious romp of car related misadventures by the
author/protagonist Cliff R. Livingstone. The book hits the ground
running and is still running at the end. Having led one of the
wackiest, most unusual, and so far unlikely lives on the planet,
the author romps through these awesome and oftentimes unbelievable
Karmic Car adventures at the rate of about ten laughs a second. The
author proposes that his car misadventures occurred because he had
a Karmic Car Cycle going on. He then builds the case though a
series of hilarious 'vignettes' that work in their right own over
and above the narrative. In writing it is hard to find an approach
that stands out from the crowd. But this is what Livingstone has
done with this distinctive work which lives up to its billing as a
'non-stop romp, morning, noon and night'. The writing style is
uproariously funny, conversational, wry, even whimsical at times
and is never less than totally entertaining. The book is anything
but your standard bowl of cornflakes. Writing is about addressing
other people. Mr. Livingstone has accurately identified the things
about his life's experiences which could be of interest to others.
This gives the 'Karmic Car Cycles' a more universal appeal than an
average straight forward narrative novel might offer. The book also
has a universal appeal which everyone can enjoy, in the sense that
while located mainly in Canada, the misadventures could just as
easily have happened to anybody, anywhere in the world whether
rich, poor, male, female, sane, zany or just plain still in their
boots. Likewise, the author's self-imposed criterion that all
included material be entertaining and/or thought provoking for the
benefit of others is a rule from which many writers could benefit.
