SECOND TIME AROUND: THE NEW FORMULA I THE TURBO ERA

by Niki Lauda

Published by Guild Publishing. 1st thus. 1984

Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. Grand Prix racing in 1984 is more complex, more enigmatic and more dynamic than ever before. Niki Lauda returns to the scene with a completely new assessment of recent developments in the wing car and turbo era. An incisive and dispassionate analysis of new Formula One written by one of its leading exponents. Red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w and colour photos. 252 pages.

A few grubby marks to endpapers. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper has foxing and grubby marks to edges of flaps and to the verso.
