Some enthusiasts will take issue with the limitations in definition of what constitutes sports cars; some will quibble over the exclusions rather than the inclusions in the choices made of great races. But all the fans will enthusiastically endorse this full history of the development from 1905 to the present, the record of famous events and famous drivers, of many nations. Specific tables list some 400 models. Statistics are supplied, year by year. There are numerous photographs, some of them in full color, technical drawings, circuit maps, etc., etc. In this Golden Jubilee Year (1960- English publication) here is the most nearly comprehensive survey of a sport that wins growing adherents.
