Behind the exhilarating speed and radiant victories of Formula 1 lies a more subtle, often unseen realm. The Dark Side Behind the Wheel peels back the layers, revealing the intricate tapestry of emotions, aspirations, and vulnerabilities that each racer carries. Amidst the powerful resonance of engines, quieter personal battles wage, often hidden from the world. This book gracefully navigates the delicate balance of triumph and tribulation, highlighting the deep emotional currents these athletes navigate. From confronting the shadows of predecessors to the solitude that can shadow fame, it paints an intimate picture of their innermost journeys. As we turn each page, we're reminded that beyond the fierce competition and thrilling speeds, lies the poignant, raw, and beautifully human story of each individual behind the wheel.

Rino Malzoni produced his first sports coupé back in 1962. After many modifications, this car was produced in small series in 1964, laying the foundation for the worldwide success of the Puma brand. Today we can look back on more than 20 Puma models and more than 24,000 Puma vehicles.Together with Vemag, the cars were built between 1962 and 1967 using DKW technology. In 1968, the Volkswagen-based Puma was built and in 1970, Rino Malzoni, together with Britinho, started to develop the Puma with GM technology. The Puma GTB was the most expensive car available in Brazil for over 10 years.Puma cars were not only built in Sao Paulo. In 1973, the coupé was modified to fit a right-hand drive VW Beetle chassis. In South Africa, the Puma was produced in small numbers between 1973 and 2019.This book tells the story of the Puma sports car brand in Brazil, provides information on export activities to USA, Canada, Europe and Japan, and covers production activities in South Africa.

Que s'est-il passé en rallye durant la saison 2023 ? 13 manches du Championnat du Monde se sont déroulées sur 4 continents lors de cette deuxième saison de l'ère des Rally1 Hybrid, auxquelles se rajoute le Championnat d'Europe et le Championnat d'Allemagne. La dernière édition de l'annuel de rallye vous présente une fois de plus les plus beaux reportages avec les résultats, les analyses et les coulisses.« Rallying 2023 - Moving Moments » de McKlein Publishing vous fait revivre la dernière saison de rallye qui a été à la fois passionnante et dramatique. L'accent est mis sur la catégorie reine. Pour la première fois, une épreuve, le Rallye d'Europe Centrale, a traversé trois pays : la République Tchèque, l'Autriche et l'Allemagne. Après la pause Covid, le Mexique et le Chili étaient de nouveau au rendez-vous en 2023. Mais la saison a aussi été assombrie par la mort de Craig Breen, à qui une nécrologie est dédiée. Et en tout début d'année, nous avons perdu Ken Block, une véritable star mondiale, à laquelle le livre rend également hommage.Bien entendu cet annuel revient aussi sur le WRC2, le Junior WRC et la WRC Masters Cup. Et l'Eifel Rallye Festival n'est bien sûr pas oublié. La manifestation a une fois de plus attiré dans le massif de l'Eifel une foule de passionnés venus admirer les anciennes gloires du rallye. Les 240 pages sont illustrées des images les plus spectaculaires des photographes McKlein, accompagnées des textes des spécialistes de l'équipe Dirtfish Media. Un duo éprouvé, gage de qualité.

En 1968, à l'apogée de la course automobile, Robert Hahn, alors âgé de 24 ans, plonge dans le monde du sport automobile international. Le talentueux mécanicien de course s'occupe de la Formule 1 et de la voiture de sport 5 litres du Suédois Joakim Bonnier. Il développe son propre aileron et gère les urgences techniques les plus délicates. Il a trouvé la reconnaissance auprès de ses collègues des grandes équipes internationales et a côtoyé des légendes telles que Jo Siffert, John Surtees et Jack Brabham, ainsi que des mécaniciens chevronnés comme Edi Wyss, Bob Dance, Dave « Beaky » Sims, Willie Southcott et Denis Daviss.Grace à Robert Hahn, nous découvrons un monde qui serait resté caché derrière le glamour du grand cirque automobile. Il parle avec passion des succès, mais aussi des conditions de travail précaires. Il décrit les moyens modestes, l'énorme pression du temps et les trajets interminables, qui faisaient partie des défis propres au métier de mécanicien de course.De 1972 à 1974, dans une phase importante de l'histoire des courses suisses, il a été actif en tant que mécanicien dans le Championnat Automobile Suisse et le Championnat d'Europe de Formule 2. Lorsque les résultats ne lui ont plus donné satisfaction, il s'est éloigné de la scène sportive. Il s'est ensuite épanoui en tant que pilote dans les courses de club et dans l'édition suisse du Trofeo Alfa Romeo en 1994 et 1995.

Die Zeitrechnung der Formel 1 in Österreich beginnt mit Jochen Rindt. Es gibt nur ein davor und ein danach. Er war es, der mit seinem waghalsigen Rennstil, seinem enormen Charisma, und nicht zuletzt seinen historischen Erfolgen selbst die Herzen der eingefleischtesten Skifans erwärmen konnte.

Zusätzlich zu allen Werdegängen und Statistiken der Helden, gibt es Interviews mit den noch lebenden Haudegen, die außergewöhnliche Einblicke in den Rennsport der letzten fünf Dekaden geben, aber auch Gesprächsaufzeichnungen mit den schon von uns gegangenen Rennlegenden.

Motor Sport:"He captures the true spirit of a nation's grass roots""A refreshing antidote to bland paeans about the overly familiar""He makes adversity sound vaguely appealing"Total Kit Car:"an enthralling read""Buy this book if you are into the underdog and tales of derring-do""I found it gripped me. I picked it up for a five minute 'flick through' and I couldn't put it down""Get it, read, enjoy what is a great tale about proper club motorsport"Lowflying:"I fell for Dave Roberts' prose before I'd even finished page three""It is very hard to put down""I recommend this book very highly to anyone who enjoys club motor sport"Dave Roberts started circuit racing at the age of 50, feeling like a bumbling overweight bee amid a swarm of angry hornets. Although he began to learn, haphazardly, how to become slightly more credible as a racer, even overtaking another car now and then, the pursuit of prizes was never at the top of the list of priorities. In fact, just arriving at the track with a working race car was often a cause for celebration.Dave is no Hamilton or Verstappen, a state of affairs for which he gives thanks. Some people believe winning is everything; some think of motorsport as being just some cars going round and round making a noise. In between we find this defiantly unprofessional memoir, which speaks most of all about the humour and fun of it all.

In 2001, Bob Wilber was entering his fifth season as the Team Manager and PR Rep for NHRA Nitro Funny Car driver Del Worsham. The team was also entering its fifth season with CSK Auto (a large auto parts retailer) as their primary sponsor. While the team had performed admirably in the first four years with CSK, they had only won one race on the NHRA tour. Somehow, Wilber decided to roll the dice and write a full-season diary in 2001, having no idea if the subject matter would be interesting or boring. It would be whatever it would be. He kept copious notes and wrote the diary throughout the calendar year, and in the end it was a season that Del Worsham said, "Changed our lives and careers." Wilber printed one copy, and put it away, not feeling yet justified as a writer to attempt to publish it. For 22 years it was lost. In 2023 it was found again. This is his work, as it was written "in the moment" during the 2001 season. It is The Lost Manuscript.

London's historic, iconic underground railway system in the period from 1968 to 1985 was a very different place to what it is in the 2020s. Much of its rolling stock dated from before World War Two, and with the exception of the new Victoria Line and the isolated Woodford to Hainault shuttle, trains were all two-person operated as the 1970s dawned.Transport photographer Jim Blake recorded most of the system on film before it would change forever, concentrating on the older rolling stock as well as other items of interest due for replacement or modernization, during this period when, regrettably, London Transport was often starved of much-needed funds by central government. The eminently sensible transfer of overall control of London's buses and Underground system to the city-wide Greater London Council at the beginning of 1970 was snatched away by the Thatcher regime in 1984, after which things rapidly went downhill. This book covers the years of GLC control, including the months prior to their taking charge in order to set the scene.Many rare and unusual scenes are included in this volume, especially of the then still basically intact portion of the uncompleted Northern Line extension between Drayton Park and Highgate, which had been so close to completion when work was halted during the war, but then abandoned in the early 1950s, incurring much wasted work and expenditure.For anyone with a serious interest in London's Underground, this book is essential reading, including as it does many pervious unpublished photographs.

This book provides the reader with a fresh perspective of the use of theory in the body of research centred on social impacts of tourism. It will be of great interest to all upper-level students and researchers in tourism, planning and related fields.

"This is the story of the vagabond canines that hopped on railroads across the United States, often becoming celebrities and national heroes. Chapters introduce canines like Owney, guardian of the railway mail service; Fala, FDR's beloved dog and train-companion; Annie, the Colorado railway ambassador; the K9 patrols who watch over the tracks; and many more. As railroads were changing America, these raildogs were changing the people who lived and worked in rail communities. For the dogs of the railways, home became the hearts of the people of the railroad. More than the dogs themselves, this book is about the human-animal relationship between a dog and a community and moments in history where that relationship symbolized the quest for home and belonging, a search that humans often share with our canine travelers"--

This is the story of the historic ship Vegäs first missions of mercy¿a real-life sea tale complete with vicious storms, exotic locations, heart-rending moments, and priceless glimpses into real life on some of the world¿s most remote tropical islands.In December 2004, Shane Granger and his partner, Meggi Macoun, had just completed a sailing odyssey from South Africa to Malaysia and were enjoying a well-earned siesta when the Boxing Day Tsunami changed their lives forever. In a matter of hours, unstoppable waves, often over ten meters high, demolished cities not only in Malaysia but also as far away as Sri Lanka, Thailand, and East Africa, making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history. With thousands of people suddenly in dire need, Shane and Meggi loaded their vessel with donated food and medical supplies, then set sail for Sumatra to deliver aid.For their ship, the Vega, the mission was a return to her origins. More than a hundred years earlier, in 1892, one of Norway¿s finest boat builders had launched the legendary ship, specially designed to sail fully loaded with heavy cargo such as limestone, bricks, pig iron, and cement through some of the world¿s roughest seas. Vega soon became famous for her ability to carry loads other boats her size could not. And now her legacy would continue as she returned to actively carrying cargo, though of a very different kind.Shane and Meggi¿s first mission of mercy marked a turning point and evolved into a passion. Every year since 2004, they have undertaken a 7,500-mile journey to carry tons of free training, tools, health supplies, and educational materials to remote island communities in eastern Indonesia and East Timor. To date, Vega has sailed more than 100,000 miles, delivering everything from pulse oximeters and midwife kits to backpacks and sports equipment and visiting locations few outsiders will ever see. The adventures they encounter along the way are nothing short of amazing.

"WALL STREET JOURNAL reporters and authors of THE CLUB, Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the riveting saga of how Formula 1 broke through in America, detailing the eclectic culture of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, gearheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers, and bitter rivalries that have made F1 the world's fastest growing sport. For decades in America, car racing meant NASCAR, and to a lesser extent IndyCar, with Formula 1-the wealthiest racing league in the world-a distant third. Fast forward to 2023, and F1 has emerged at the front of the pack powered by a passionate yet nascent American fanbase. The F1 juggernaut has arrived, but this checkered flag was far from inevitable. In THE FORMULA, WALL STREET JOURNAL reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the epic story of how F1 saved itself from collapse and finally conquered America through guile, fearlessness, and above all, reinvention. With fast cars, big money, glamorous locales, and beautiful people as the backdrop, THE FORMULA reveals how F1's sudden arrival in the US was actually decades in the making, a product of the sport's near-constant state of transformation and experimentation. Bringing unique insight and access to F1's most storied teams and personalities-from Ferrari to Bernie Ecclestone to Christian Horner to Lewis Hamilton-THE FORMULA offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century. The end result is a high-octane history of how modern F1 racing came to be-the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led F1 to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, THE FORMULA is the tale of a disrupter that broke into the crowded American sports marketplace and claimed its place through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a sport needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment"--
