Summary

Karl Ludvigsen's careers as an auto industry insider and motorsport journalist gave him rare access to auto racing's greatest drivers. In this series of lavish coffee-table treatments from Haynes Publishing, the author offers race fans insightful biographies, rare anecdotes, and a wealth of archival color and black-and-white photography detailing motor racing's all-time greats.

The legendary American driver was a brilliant all-rounder, racing successfully in sports car, F1, Indy, endurance events, and even stock cars. Ludvigsen covers all of Gurney's motorsport endeavors, from his early days racing Triumphs, Porsches, Ferraris, and Corvettes on the West Coast sports car scene through his Le Mans start in 1957, his Grand Prix debut in 1959, and his subsequent storied F1 career. Also covers Gurney's equally impressive record as a builder, most notably his introduction of the first truly competitive mid-engine car at Indianapolis and his partnership with Carroll Shelby in 1964.
