Races, Faces, Places

More about the book

Races, Faces, Places is split into three main sections as described by the title, and travel from the late 1950s to the early 1970s - the heartland of motor racing nostalgia. Races: focuses on Formula 1, but Michael Cooper also covers sports, GT and saloon car racing. Faces: features the author’s portraits of iconic 1960s drivers and is perhaps his best work and illustrates the author’s genius at capturing the moment, an ability to understand the subject or place in an intimate way that transcends technical skills. Places: previously unseen behind-the-scenes material in pit and paddock locations in a way that defines the era.
