Postcards from Detroit: Remembering Formula 1 in the Motor City

Captures the uniquely American atmosphere of the Detroit Grand Prix and a bygone era in Formula 1 racing. The photographs show a Detroit paddock filled with glamourous guests and popular drivers who competed in support races: Paul Newman driving the Trans-Am; Michael Andretti starting out his professional career advised by his legendary father, Mario; supermodel Christie Brinkley relaxing on the pit wall with her boyfriend, the driver and champagne heir Olivier Chandon. These intimate and revealing character studies, punctuated by exciting race action, evoke a strong sense of nostalgia for teams and drivers from an era that will never be repeated.Hart, Roger is the author of 'Postcards from Detroit: Remembering Formula 1 in the Motor City', published 2006 under ISBN 9781893618725 and ISBN 1893618722.
