The book opens with a capsule history of what went before and led the sportscar world championship to the two seasons under scrutiny here, how the rules evolved to provide the fertile soil in which these cars were nurtured.<\/p>\n<p>While the text is illuminative, this is what I like to call a photos-with-captions book, one that can transport the reader back to a time when the world was somewhat less complicated and more enchanting.
