The most comprehensive biography of Formula One legend Niki Lauda ever published, written with the full support of his family

Happy Birthday McLaren – 50 Jahre Motorsport auf höchstem Niveau McLaren – das ist Motorsport. Der Name des britischen Formel 1-Teams steht stellvertretend für alles, was mit röhrenden Motoren, Siegesfeiern im Champagnerregen, frenetisch gefeierten Fahrern und enthusiastischen Fans entlang der Rennstrecken von Monza bis Monaco zu tun hat. 'McLaren: 50 Years of Racing' ist der offizielle Jubiläumsband mit allen Hintergrundinformationen zu Geschichte und Gegenwart des berühmtesten und (nach Ferrari) ältesten Motorsportteams der Welt. 722 Grand-Prix-Teilnahmen, davon 182 gewonnen – in den 50 Jahren der Firmengeschichte gibt es nicht nur grandiose Siege und strahlende Triumphe, auch Niederlagen und tragische Unglücksfälle, wie der frühe Unfalltod des Gründers Bruce McLaren, gehören dazu. In zahlreichen Interviews mit allen Protagonisten des Rennzirkus, von Niki Lauda bis David Coulthard, zeigt der Band das ganze Spektrum von Glamour und technischer Präzision hinter den Kulissen von Sport und Business.

"Celebrate 40 years since James Hunt's World Championship and the legendary life, endless carouses and career milestones of a true legend of Formula 1. After discovering motor racing at 17, Hunt began by building and racing his own Mini. Moving into Formula Ford and Formula 3, his progress was noted for daring and aggressive driving rather than outright successes. Making the step up to Formula 1 with the colourful Hesketh team, Hunt came third in his first race. He finished second in the United States Grand Prix, and rounded off 1973 with the Campbell Trophy for best British driver. Hunt scored his first Grand Prix win in Holland in 1975, finishing fourth in the World Championship. His status as a superstar developed rapidly in 1976 when he joined McLaren and fought for the title against his great rival, Niki Lauda. James Hunt became World Champion at the final race of a season so dramatic and controversial that it became the subject of a Hollywood feature film." -- Provided by publisher.

One of the most respected figures in Formula 1 for nearly four decades, Ken Tyrrell discovered Jackie Stewart and went on to win 33 grands prix and three world championships as an independent team owner. This biography provides an expose of the man himself, and an insight into the drama and excitement of the world of Formula 1 motor racing.

This title should have been a record of glorious success. Instead, it turned into a thriller, the inside story of a struggle to survive in one of the most cut-throat and glamorous sports in the world. In 1998 the Jordan team set out with the intention of winning their first Grand Prix. Confidence was high. The budget was in place. So was the technology to build a winning car. Tempting Damon Hill to drive was the final step. However, it soon became apparent that finishing the race would be an achievement, never mind winning it. As the season got into its stride, Jordan were left behind. The book had been agreed before optimism had given way to disappointment. Yet Jordan permitted the authors to continue their work and record the sometimes excruciating story of a team in crisis.
