\"\"<\/a>Brabham Racecars 1967-1983<\/h2>\n

By Ian Catt<\/h3>\n

On first look, it seems curious that a book about a specific marque would not cover its entire history but somehow\u2014perhaps because the author wasn\u2019t on the scene before 1967\u2014this one does. What good is an incomplete history book?<\/p>\n

Of course this one is published as a photo essay and not a complete history, so perhaps that gets it a pass. It is evident, however, that over the years author Catt put his press passes to good use to go behind the scenes looking to capture the inner workings of the sport.<\/p>\n

Employing the format of long story captions to accompany the dominant photography, the book starts its story the year after Sir Jack had won his third World Championship\u2014and scored his marque\u2019s first constructors cup\u2014devoting six of its 126 pages to Denny Hulme\u2019s world title and the team\u2019s second and final Constructors Championship.<\/p>\n

From there it provides a through-the-years look at Brabham offerings in F1 and occasionally the lower formulae, as well as a look at the Brabham Indycars, culminating in the last, best years for the marque as Nelson Piquet became World Champion in 1983.<\/p>\n

Available for US$29.95 from enthusiast bookstores or direct from publisher Coterie at www.coteriepress.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
