Can-Am Racing Cars 1966-1974: Racing Portfolio

Good collection of contemporary magazine articles on cars of the Cam-Am series. It is NOT a description of each of the cars although most get a mention. There are however detailed descriptions of some of the more notable ones. Poor reproduction of photos but plenty of reading. Two further Brooklands Books cover the actual races. Worth a read.

The Can-Am cars of the 60s and 70s were true behemoths - almost unlimited sports-racers, with a mix of huge American V8s, Ferrari V12s and Porsche flat-12s. This compilation of magazine articles on the cars describes the chassis, the engines, the drivers - all the background to one of the most technically fascinating racing series ever.Right from the early days of the Lola T70 and McLaren M1 to the ultimate 'Panzer' turbo Porsches vs the eccentric Shadows, all the cars are here.If McLaren, Chapparal, Lola, Porsche, Autocoast, Shadow mean anything to you you'll want this super little book.Brooklands also publish two companion volumes on the races - worth picking up too.
