The definitive history of one of Porsche's most beloved and
competitive racing champions. Forty Six tells the unlikely underdog
story of the car that scored Porsche's first racing victories and
helped establish their commercial success: the 356/2 063. Beginning
at the company's post-World War II nadir, Bill Wagenblatt
illuminates how Porsche rose from the ashes to overcome multiple
trials and near-disasters to compete with this vehicle at Le Mans,
the Liege-Rome-Liege Rally, and Montlhéry, where they set new
racing records in the 1950s. Wagenblatt follows the tale into the
twenty-first century, making clear how the 356/2 063 helped set
Porsche Motorsport on its way to becoming the juggernaut that we
know today. Including a wealth of archival photos and documents
that have never been before published, along with a unique look at
the car's US history, Forty Six is the definitive history of one of
Porsche's most beloved and competitive racing champions.
When, during the tumultuous 1976 Formula 1 season, Niki Lauda
nearly perished in a conflagration at the Nurburgring and then,
severely scarred, courageously fought back to race again only six
weeks later, the Austrian earned admiration and adulation
world-wide. While the saga of that year, and the battle with James
Hunt for the World Championship, has been told many times, the rest
of Lauda's racing has received less attention. This new book
redresses that by documenting, race by race, his diverse driving
career from 1968 to 1985. Through detailed dissection of each of
his 328 races, in an eclectic mix of cars, a vivid picture emerges
of a hugely determined and vastly talented racer who, despite many
setbacks, left a remarkable legacy. All enthusiasts will treasure
this comprehensive and richly illustrated examination of Niki
Lauda's entire competition history.

Motor racing is perhaps the most visually exciting of all sports.
Recent safety measures, however, deny photographers access to the
track itself (such access is known as a "track pass"). For many
years this was not the case. This breathtaking collection
represents the very best behind-the-scenes work of Geoff Goddard,
one of the world's most renowned and respected "old school"
motorsports photographers. "Track Pass" records all the greats,
from Fangio to Stewart.
