The races were epic, the drivers were epic, the tracks were epic. These books are epic!

Spanning two volumes and some 2300 pages, this magnum opus includes: a complete chronology of the development of the sports racing car; complete results of each and every event from the hundreds of entries in the Mille Miglia to the many obscure rounds of the Grand Touring Cups of the 1960s; chassis numbers of most entries; diagrams of each circuit, including variations; annual statistical summaries, plus a comprehensive appendix of all marques and drivers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those concerned that this may be a bland litany of dates and results \u2013 fear not. \u201cTime and Two Seats\u201d is well written and reads like a story that grows and develops from year to year. Illustrated with over 600 photographs from well-known photographers such as Cahier, Goddard and VRJ\u2019s own Dave Friedman, this two-volume collection is a feast for the senses. As Phil Hill writes in his forward to the book, \u201c\u2026uncork a bottle of wine and curl up in your favorite chair.
