Dedicated to the 1970 motorsport season, this volume offers readers total immersion in a bygone era, when photographers were in the thick of things, mere centimeters from the drivers and their cars. In this volume, a sign of the times, an increasing number of the selected pictures are in color. \u003cbr\u003e The 250 photographs and six thrilling stories bring to life the atmosphere of a year that saw many triumphs -- and tragedies -- including the posthumously awarded title of Jochen Rindt, François Cevert's Formula 1 debut, Porsche's first ever victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the onsite shooting of Le Mans with Steve McQueen, and a last tribute to Bruce McLaren. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eText in English and French.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this 1970 edition, a key season in many respects, contributions were invited from \u003cb\u003eAlain Pernot\u003c\/b\u003e, an independent journalist and motorsport expert who knows how to share his exhaustive knowledge with all the passion that drives him to collect it.
