Albin Michel, mars 1988, EDITION ORIGINALE, in-8, cartonnage souple, couv. photos coul. éditeur, 272 pp., nb. photos en coul. et en noir, palmarès, table des matières, "Ari Vatanen, champion du monde des rallyes 1981, est un pilote réellement différent des autres. II y a à cela plusieurs raisons. Ses croyances religieuses, par exemple, qui en font une sorte de mystique, et d'ailleurs perçu comme tel par les autres rallymen, son honnêteté presque maladive et sa loyauté, qualités corollaires de sa foi. Sur le plan purement sportif, Vatanen a également ses particularités. Sa carrière a été marquée par ses très grandes qualités d'attaquant et son immense talent, mais également par une noire malchance. A-t-il lui-même provoqué cette malchance ? On peut le penser : il était l'un des pilotes psychologiquement les plus fragiles de la fin des années 70. C'est ce qui rend son personnage attachant. Enfin, il faut rappeler qu'il a été victime d'un très grave accident, au rallye d'Argentine 85. Durant son transfert à l'hôpital, il fut victime de deux arrêts cardiaques. S'ensuivit une très longue convalescence, sans doute sa course la plus difficile. Vatanen n'est donc pas un pilote comme les autres ; de même, son livre n'est pas le récit détaillé d'une carrière, comme on le voit trop souvent, mais celui d'un combat de l'homme contre les éléments, contre la mort, et contre la malchance. Se produira une sorte de résurrection et Vatanen gagnera Paris-Dakar, officiellement en 1987, et moralement en 1988". Pas courant Très bon état

No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased with minor traces of storage. 128pp. This book provides the first comprehensive record of Saab's competition history from its inception to the intensely competitive 1980 season. At the same time it traces the influence which motorsport had on the development of the original Saab 92 and the 93, 96, 96 V4, 99 and 900-series cars which have succeeded it, and recalls the exploits of some brilliant drivers like Erik Carlsson, Carl-Magnus Skogh and Stig Blomqvist, who have done so much to glorify the image, not only of Saab, but of rallying itself.

ill., ril. Prisca Taruffi, campionessa italiana e vice campionessa europea rally, si racconta attraverso gli aspetti più avventurosi della sua vita sportiva. Figlia d'arte, Prisca, ha ereditato la passione per la velocità dal padre, l'ingegner Piero Taruffi, indimenticato pilota, progettista e recordman degli anni Trenta e Cinquanta. Una passione, quella per i motori, da sempre contrastata dai genitori. Quasi per caso un inesorabile destino legherà per tutta la vita l'autrice alla figura del padre. Questa è la storia di una donna pilota dal carattere indipendente e ribelle che sì è dovuta fare largo in un mondo prettamente maschile come quello dell'automobilismo. Una vita costellata di aneddoti, anche intimi, che vanno oltre i racconti legati alla professione: dalla promessa che il padre fece a Donna Isabella, madre dell'autrice, prima dell'ultima leggendaria Mille Miglia vinta nel 1957, al debutto automobilistico sul circuito di Vallelunga contro il volere del padre. E ancora, gli incidenti in gara - sia in circuito, sia nei rally -, gli imprevisti e le esperienze nel mondo dei Rally Raid africani (come il Rally dei Faraoni e il Rally delle Gazzelle, una gara di orienteering tutta al femminile). Non solo una biografia, ma un ampio sguardo alla professione di donna pilota, impreziosito dagli incontri con colleghe amiche e rivali del mondo delle corse. Preazione di Carlo Cavicchi. Introduzione di Antonella Clerici.
