Book: "Inside IMSA's legendary GTP race cars"
I have received my book on saturday have had a look over the weekend. I must say a very amazing piece of work from J. Martin and Michael Fuller.
The technical overview of the most significant GTP-cars is ecellent. Many technical pics ( suspension, undertray, engine bay etc), cutaway drawings and pics from wind tunnel models many never seen before make this book together with the text to one of the best motorsport books if have ever seen. Thanks a lot for this , Mike. I think this was only the beginning from your writers career. Every technical interested sportscar fan must have it. |

 Doesn't bode well. |

I guess I'll wait for the second printing, then,
 .One for the list, though, by the looks of things. |
