Prototype Era: 1962-1973 in Photographs - Beginning with the
first Ferrari mid-engine prototype, the 246SP, and carrying through
to the 512s and mighty 312PBs, author Alan Henry recounts an epic
period in motor racing of indomitable cars and superb drivers
in Ferrari Prototype Era: 1962-1973 in Photographs. This beautiful
photographic history brings back these trend-setting sports-prototypes
in all their glory, as well as the drivers who raced them and
the classic circuits that were host to their legendary competitions.
Ferrari waged fierce battles and had long, intensive rivalries
with Porsche, Ford, Matra, and other marques. In 1962 Ferrari
won the new Challenge Mondiale (World Challenge), and repeated
their success in 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, and 1972. Ferrari’s
efforts were bolstered by an international field of successful
concessionaires—the privateer teams—led by Luigi Chinetti’s
North American Racing Team (NART), Jacques Swaters’s Ecurie
Francorchamps, and Ronnie Hoare’s Maranello Concessionaires.
Most of the Scuderia Ferrari sports car drivers also raced in
Formula 1, either for Ferrari or for opposing teams. This explosive
display of driving talent coincided with an exciting revolution
in technology, as rear-engine designs began to supplant traditional
front-engine cars in the early sixties. Sports car racing was
hugely popular and on par with Formula 1. From the sheer size
of the crowds shown here, it is easy to see how important winning
the World Championship was to manufacturers. Replete with fascinating
detail, Ferrari Prototype Era captures the most compelling images
of the men and machines of this 12-year period in one volume,
including insights on drivers, technical developments, chassis
numbers for each car, and race details.
- Miami
Vice - Season One - Stubble-faced detective Crockett lived
in a sailboat guarded by his alligator Elvis. His partner Tubbs
was a black New York cop looking for his brother's killer. Together
they took on the Florida drug world. The show influenced men's
fashions toward Italo-casual and interior decor toward the Memphis
look. Very trendy music and unusual guest performers.
