Spyders & Silhouettes<\/h2>\n

By J\u00e1nos Wimpffen<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>In Time and Two Seats historian J\u00e1nos Wimpffen achieved the seemingly impossible by chronicling (in two, massive, hernia-creating volumes) the entire history of modern endurance sports car racing. Wimpffen then followed up this epic work with a series of equally back-breaking photographic treatises, chronicling the best photography encompassing the same eras as Time and Two Seats, namely 1953\u20131997.<\/p>\n

In Spyders & Silhouettes Wimpffen completes this photographic trilogy with a 400-page, large-format, coffee-table-style book devoted to the racecars of the World Manufacturers Championship, 1972\u20131981. Broken down into year-by-year chapters, each chapter includes a narrative recapping the major events of the season, supplemented by black and white and color photography sourced from some of the most prominent motorsport photographers and collections of the era, all with detailed captions.<\/p>\n

As this period marked the rise of the Group 5, or \u201cSilhouette,\u201d class of racecar, there are many fabulous pictures of the Porsche 935, BMW CSL, BMW 320 and Ferrari Daytona, as well as the \u201cSpyder\u201d big brothers the Porsche 936, Alpine A442, and the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33.<\/p>\n

As with all of Wimpffen\u2019s previous books, this really is a must-have reference that no sports-racing library should be without\u2014just be sure to wear lower back support when pulling these from the shelf!<\/p>\n
