A Champion\u2019s View is that rare coffee table book where the text outshines the photos, thanks to Phil\u2019s lively prose and insider\u2019s look at some of the world\u2019s most beautiful and successful sports cars ever built. All the Ferrari sports cars he raced are here, plus several others, shown in glorious color photos, beginning with the first car to roll out of Enzo\u2019s shop, the Auto Avio Costruzioni 815, which Alberto Ascari raced in the 1940 Millia Miglia, up to the carbon-fiber 333 SP, which came with a million dollar price tag. Phil\u2019s favorite? The 4.0-liter, 335 S of the mid-1950s. Says the author, \u201cFerrari\u2019s 335 S exemplified the sort of racing I liked best. No engine restrictions, no fuel mileage considerations, just you and a very powerful unblown engine in a chassis as good as that engine, working like hell to get to the finish line first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hill remained a captive of the Ferrari mystique after he departed, even in the years immediately after, while driving for other teams. The V-12 was a particular fascination. \u201cI always had great faith in those powerplants,\u201d says Hill, \u201cand in 1967 they seemed so sophisticated compared to our Chevrolet V-8s (that powered the Chaparral 2F).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Comments like those above coupled with Hill\u2019s encyclopedic knowledge make this book endlessly fascinating and a must for enthusiasts. One can only hope that Hill will produce a book of like quality about the F1 Ferraris.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dalton Watson Fine Books, Ltd. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daltonwatson.com\">www.daltonwatson.com<\/a> (800) 914-5656 $90, (autographed) $100<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/913WALLh3-L._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-754771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/913WALLh3-L._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"764\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/913WALLh3-L._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/913WALLh3-L._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/913WALLh3-L._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-76x100.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/02\/913WALLh3-L._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-293x384.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ferrari: A Champion\u2019s View by Phil Hill It turns out that Phil Hill\u2014America\u2019s first world champion, three-time Le Mans winner, master car restorer and gentleman\u2014is one terrific story teller.
