Select Edition
This volume in our decade-by-decade series about Formula 1 teams and cars covers the 1970s, when the sport gained big new sponsors and grew into a television spectacle, with battles between Ferrari and Cosworth-powered opposition a continuing theme. As well as the big championship-winning teams – Lotus, Ferrari, McLaren and Tyrrell – this was a period when small teams and privateers continued to be involved in significant numbers and they are all included, down to the most obscure and unsuccessful.
Read extract

• Year-by-year treatment covers each season in fascinating depth, running through the teams – and their various cars – in order of importance.

• World Champions: Lotus and Ferrari, with three drivers’ titles each, were the most dominant race winners through the decade, while Tyrrell and McLaren took two drivers’ titles apiece.

• Other winning marques were Brabham, BRM, Hesketh, Ligier, March, Penske, Renault, Shadow, Williams and Wolf.

• More obscure teams and cars in all their colourful diversity are a special dimension of this book, with names such as Amon, Connew, Eifelland, Ensign, Hill, Kojima, LEC, Maki, Merzario, Rebaque, Token and Trojan.

• Over 600 photos – mostly in colour – show every type of car raced by every team and driver, presenting a comprehensive survey of all participants.

• The sweep of the decade covers sustained technical development, particularly in aerodynamics, tyres and engine turbocharging.

• Detailed text includes car specifications and technical essentials.

“More than just a coffee table book of pretty car pictures, it’s a superbly detailed reference work too.”

“Higham’s method is to delve into the nooks and crannies... The result is a series of gems hitherto lost in the mists of time.”

“Colourful and enjoyable.”

“A must for fans of F1 nostalgia... a really complete account of the entire decade.”

“Awesome cars, iconic drivers, epic battles... covers the many minnows, too, most largely forgotten.”
