Description
Author: Gunther Molter, Hardbound, 199 Pages, ISBN: B00ZAKCR9M, Second Edition, Translated by Charles Meisl - **Second-Hand book in good condition**
It has been my privilege to race many times against Juan Manuel Fangio and have, therefore, first-hand experience of his motor-racing achievements. It is always thrilling to watch his masterly handling and to admire his ready grasp of the potentialities of any type of car he may be called upon to drive. These are qualities which can only be acquired by long experience coupled with an expert knowledge of the various racing circuits. He also possesses the right temperament for coping with emergencies in split-second timing. Now that I am a member of the same Ferrari team, I hope by closer contact to acquire something of this man's outstanding ability."
Peter Collins wrote these words in 1956 for the first edition of this book since when, as all the world knows, Fangio has successfully upheld his title of" World Champion" against all comers. Gunther Molter has added four chapters to the present edition bringing the story of this great driver up to date.
