The formative years of the 1950s are explored in this fourth installment of Evro's decade-by-decade series covering all Formula 1 cars and teams. When the World Championship was first held in 1950, red Italian cars predominated, from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati, and continued to do so for much of the period. But by the time the decade closed, green British cars were in their ascendancy, first Vanwall and then rear-engined Cooper playing the starring roles, and BRM and Lotus having walk-on parts. As for drivers, one stood out above the others, Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio, becoming World Champion five times. Much of the fascination of this era also lies in its numerous privateers and also-rans, all of which receive their due coverage in this complete work. Year-by-year treatment covers each season in fascinating depth, running through the teams -- and their various cars -- in order of importance. Alfa Romeo's supercharged 11/2-litre cars dominated the first two years, with titles won by Giuseppe Farina (1950) and Fangio (1951). The new marque of Ferrari steamrollered the opposition in two seasons run to Formula 2 rules (1952-53), Alberto Ascari becoming champion both times, and the same manufacturer took two more crowns with Fangio (1956) and Mike Hawthorn (1958). Maserati's fabulous 250F, the decade's most significant racing car, propelled Fangio to two more of his five championships (1954 and 1957). German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz stepped briefly into Formula 1 (1954-55) and won almost everything with Fangio and up-and-coming Stirling Moss. Green finally beat red when the Vanwalls, driven by Moss and Tony Brooks, won the inaugural constructors' title (1958). Then along came Cooper, rear-engine pioneers, to signpost Formula 1's future when Jack Brabham became World Champion (1959).

There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.

This book is the second in a multi-volume, decade-by-decade series covering the entire history of Formula 1 through its teams and cars. This instalment examines the 1970s, when the sport gained big new sponsors and grew into a television spectacle, with battles between Ferrari and Cosworth-powered opposition a continuing theme. As well as the big championship-winning teams--Lotus, Ferrari, McLaren and Tyrrell--this was a period when small teams and privateers continued to be involved in significant numbers and they are all included, down to the most obscure and unsuccessful. This book shines new light on many areas of the sport and will be treasured by all Formula 1 enthusiasts.

AUTOCOURSE THE WORLD'S LEADING GRAND PRIX ANNUAL Launched way back in 1951, AUTOCOURSE is proud of its heritage as an independent publication, which for over sixty years has covered the Grand Prix World Championship in minute detail. At its core are definitive race reports filed by noted motor sport journalists, all of whom are regulars on the circuits and members of the ‘inner sanctum’ of writers who have access to the sport’s movers and shakers. Their reports are backed by the most complete statistical data available, including detailed lap charts, some of which are unique to this publication. While Grand Prix racing naturally takes centre stage, AUTOCOURSE has always covered the many other categories of motor sport that have flourished over the past half-century. The world’s great races, from the Le Mans 24-Hours to the Indianapolis 500, are perennial events in a comprehensive motor sport overview that today covers Sports Cars, Indycar, NASCAR, GP2, GP3, F3, Touring Cars, Karting and more. Delving back into the past, readers can delight in the now lost worlds of non-championship F1 racing, Formula 2, F5000, CanAm and the Tasman Series, which boasted many of the leading drivers of the day among their competitors. One of the greatest strengths of AUTOCOURSE through the years has been its superb photographic coverage. Many of the world’s leading motor sport photographers have been regular contributors, their images providing the ultimate pictorial record of each racing season. In a fast changing world, AUTOCOURSE retains its position as the definitive record of each season’s motor sport. Now, sought-after and long-out-of-print editions, which command high prices from collectors, will shortly be available to download at a very modest cost for enthusiasts to enjoy on their Apple and Android tablets in eBook form.
