Sadly, this book didn\u2019t quite live up to its name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What Unraced\u2026 does do is to chronicle all the stillborn Grand Prix projects from 1993 to 2005. Such lesser-known names as Premier1, DAMS, and Dome are included as well as failed projects by Lola, Toyota, Honda, and even McLaren-Mercedes. Each of the seven chapters is devoted to one of these cars and examines its genesis, development, and eventual early demise. While each car receives a number of supporting action and technical photos, the quality of a number of these is pretty poor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019ve been looking for a book on any one of these obscure \u201990s racers, you\u2019ll likely find this work interesting. However, if you were hoping to learn the story of Chevron\u2019s unfinished Grand Prix project or what became of the \u201cGodiva\u201d-engined Kieft Formula One car, you\u2019ll sadly have to continue to wait for a more comprehensive work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Available for <b>US$49.95<\/b> (<b>\u00a325.00<\/b>) directly from the publisher at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veloce.co.uk\">www.veloce.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unraced&#8230;Formula One\u2019s lost cars By Sam Collins While countless forests have been decimated chronicling the championship winning cars of the past 50 years of Formula One, surprisingly little has been written about the multitude of cars that were either uncompetitive, or worse, never even made the starting grid.
