The first of these was the Grand Prix of Syracuse, a non-championship race that then served to open the F1 season, and in this case, be the first outing for the new 3-liter formula. Then it was on to the Targa Florio, but not before a stop off at a celebration of the fabled event\u2019s 50th running.<\/p>\n<p>Crucial to the project was Adriaensen\u2019s unearthing of photography from those events more than four decades ago, a quest additionally rewarding because the images he found had all been made on glorious Kodachrome film (R.I.P.). Most of these photos come from co-author Joscelyne, but additional images from a variety of shooters\u2014foremost among them Brian Harris, Rip Kirby and Edward Negus\u2014bring both depth and breadth to the exercise. One need not read a word to enjoy this book.\u00a0The words, however, are provided by period reports from journals of the day, each presented in the original language of its publication, whether that be English, French, German or Italian. The captions for the photos, however, are all in English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Available for \u00a3100 (US$160) direct from the publisher at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corsaresearch.com\">www.corsaresearch.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-568000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3-1024x893.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3-100x87.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3-770x672.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PR201105-p3-293x256.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten Days in Sicily By Tony Adriaensen and Brian Joscelyne Adriaensen\u2019s latest book takes the reader well behind the scenes of three events taking place in Sicily within a 10-day span in May of 1966.
