| From the award-winning publishers of Peter Darley's definitive photographic biography Jim Clark Life at Team Lotus, this latest volume from Coterie Press provides an evocative snapshot of the cars and drivers competing in a single season of British motorsport. Detailing the major UK single-seater, sportscar and saloon car races that Team Lotus competed in, it sees legendary drivers such as Stewart, Hill, Gurney, Brabham, Surtees and McLaren competing hard against the formidable talent of Team Lotus and works supported drivers Jimmy Clark, Mike Spence, Jack Sears, John Whitmore, Pedro Rodriguez, Brian Hart, Peter Revson and Ray Parsons.
Copiously illustrated with nearly 200 hitherto unseen photographs from the Peter Darley Archive, the book not only captures the unique atmosphere of the time but also lists the race results for every class in which the formidable young Scotsman competed and records the thrills and spills as they unfolded for Colin Chapman's record breaking Team Lotus in 1965.
With contributions from Jack Sears, Sally Swart (Stokes), Bob Dance and David Hobbs, this second collaboration between Coterie Press and Peter Darley, 1965: Jim Clark & Team Lotus - The UK Races, is not just an invaluable record of Jimmy's early life and times but also a uniquely colourful depiction of an important period in British motor racing history, one which like many other Coterie publications is sure to become a coveted collectors item. |
