In 1967 JW produced its own update of the racing GT40, the Mirage. With financing from Gulf Oil, the Mirage would evolve and succeed in prototype racing well into the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>In this book McDonough chronicles both the Mirage\u2019s development and its racing career, including the full competition record of each individual chassis and a season-by-season account of the team\u2019s racing exploits, as well as profiles of all the drivers and personalities that made Mirage a fascinating and successful organization. And, of course, it wouldn\u2019t be a book by McDonough if he didn\u2019t manage to get himself behind the wheel for his own take on what made the Mirage so great!\u00a0With a 128 pages of rare color and b\/w photos, there is a tremendous amount of information packed into this excellent little book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Available for US$29.95 (\u00a315.99) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veloce.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.veloce.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gulf-Mirage 1967 to 1982 No stranger to VR readers, our European Editor Ed McDonough not only test drives and writes about unique racecars, but also has a growing bibliography of books devoted to various significant machines.
