Review for 1 1/2-litre Grand Prix Racing 1961-1965 by Motorsport Magazine October 2006 UK The 11/2-litre GP cars which raced from 1961-65 have long been seen as something of a poor relation to the spectacular 1930s Silver Arrows or 1980s turbos. Yet in a few short years the formula produced considerable technical advances and successes for BRM, Lotus and Coventry-Climax, which fortified Britain's emerging motor racing industry. Mark Whitelock rightly believes 11/2-litre F1 is due for reappraisal, and his painstakingly researched book provides a well-rounded survey. There are chapters detailing each year's racing, sections on leading drivers and circuits, and expertly written technical coverage of all the chassis and engines. Abundant photographs, cut-away diagrams and stats add to this book's usefulness. --
