The story of the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix - the last race of the
heroic age of motor racing There has been much talk of how Grand
Prix motor racing has become rather dull with big name, big brand
winners ousting out all competition. But it wasn't always so. Once
a romantic sport, motor sport produced heros whose where individual
skill and daring were paramount. The 1957 Pescara Grand Prix marked
the end of an era in motor racing. Sixteen cars and drivers raced
over public roads on the Adriatic coast in a three-hour race of
frightening speed and constant danger. Stirling Moss won the race,
beating the great Juan Manuel Fangio (in his final full season) and
ending years of supremacy by the Italian teams of Ferrari and
Maserati. Richard Williams brings this pivotal race back to life,
reminding us of how far the sport has changed in the intervening
fifty years. The narrative includes testaments from the four
surviving drivers who competed - Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Roy
Salvadori and Jack Brabham.
