This book presents, in large-format images, Simon's unique
virtually designed racing machines and tells the story of
international racer Vic Cooper, who time-travels under the name
'Vic13' and later 'Mean13' to the past and the future to compete in
a wide variety of motor races. His attempts are supported by world
famous constructor Masucci, who built amazing vehicles for Cooper
between the years 1916 and 2582. In this first volume of The
Timeless Racer, Cooper time-travels to the year 2027, where he
competes in the world-famous--and legendarily dangerous-- 48 Hours
of America endurance race. The book puts three vehicles in the
spotlight, shown in incredibly photo-realistic images.
Car enthusiasts, design fans, and fiction addicts will be awed by
fantastic and futuristic race cars in drawings and hyper-real
renderings up to 24 inches wide. The book includes special
attention to the fine details that make alternate worlds
believable: fictitious sponsors and conflicts, with characters
described in spectacular detail through photographs and back
stories.
In this captivating series, Simon returns to create an imaginary
but entirely possible reality of glamour, speed, and honor. Welcome
to The Timeless Racer.
The foreword has been written by racing legend Jacky Ickx, who
raced in the 1960s, '70s and '80s for many famed teams such as
Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, Brabham or Lotus. He is the only driver
to have won in Formula One, Can-Am, Le Mans, and the Paris-Dakar
rally.
