Book Description
The thirteenth edition of the Autocourse Champ Car Yearbook, edited by Jeremy Shaw and backed by his team of expert writers, chronicles the Champ Car series which runs powerful turbo-charged single-seat open-wheel race cars running on slick tyres around race tracks, city street courses and ovals, not only on the North American continent, but also other hotbeds of support in Mexico and Australia. Sebastien Bourdais once again reigned supreme to secure back to back Championships, with fierce competition from Paul Tracey and a host of other established stars, among them the UK's Justin Wilson, who has proved a major success out in the US. The Toyota Atlantic review charts the success of another British export, leading female racer Katherine Legge, who tested the Minardi F1 Cosworth at the end of November 2005 and is destined for a bright future in America. In the traditional meticulous Autocourse manner, the 2005 season is covered in detail, with full race-by-race reports and results. Popular features such as the editor's Top Ten Driver assessment and in depth features covering the key people and organisations who helped shape the season, are all illustrated with glorious full-cover photography from LAT Photographic. In addition, there is a review of the Toyota Atlantic and Trans-Am series, which feature as support events to the Champ Car series.

Touring Car Racing
Author: Matt James
Publisher: Evro Publishing Limited
ISBN: 9781910505366

Pages : 0
Book Description
Touring Car Racing, a feast of nostalgia, celebrates the 60-year heritage of the British Touring Car Championship. From the era of Mini Coopers and Lotus Cortinas to the Vauxhall Astras and Honda Civics of recent years, all the highlights of Britain’s ever-spectacular touring car scene are captured in a year-by-year visual extravaganza with over 600 photos and expert commentary. Compiled by long-time touring car journalist Matt James, the book has a chapter for each year featuring a summary of the season, 10 photos showing all the top cars and drivers in action, key statistics and a profile of the champion driver. Anyone who has ever enjoyed touring car racing as a participant, spectator or television viewer will treasure this book. The 1950s. The British Saloon Car Championship was inaugurated in 1958 and from the start it was super-competitive, ending in a tie that was resolved by a shoot-out in favour of Jack Sears. The 1960s. There were three Mini champions but mainly this was a Ford era, epitomised by Lotus Cortinas (with Jim Clark ever spectacular) and big Falcons, Galaxies and Mustangs from America. The 1970s. Smaller classes came to the fore in this decade, with three drivers sharing seven titles — Bill McGovern took three in Sunbeam Imps while two apiece went to Bernard Unett (Chrysler Avenger GT) and Richard Longman (Mini 1275GT). The 1980s. Three drivers also bestrode this decade but in a wider range of cars, including Mazda RX-7, Alfa Romeo GTV, Rover Vitesse and Ford Sierra XR4i; Win Percy and Andy Rouse each took three titles, Chris Hodgetts two. The 1990s. Overseas drivers arrived in force to mix it with home-grown stars during the highly competitive Super Touring years, the decade’s champions including Joachim Winkelhock (BMW 318is), Frank Biela (Audi A4 quattro), Alain Menu (Renault Laguna), Rickard Rydell (Volvo S40) and Laurent Aïello (Nissan Primera). The 2000s. Vauxhalls were the star cars, taking six titles, while the decade brought three double champions in the form of James Thompson (Vauxhall Astra), Matt Neal (Honda Integra) and Fabrizio Giovanardi (Vauxhall Vectra VXR). The 2010s. Yet more variety and brilliant racing has characterised the current decade, with Gordon Shedden becoming the winningest driver with three titles in Honda Civics.
