The Racers: Langstreckenrennen - Endurance Motor Racing - 1963–1973

Legends of motorsport: The endurance races of Daytona and Sebring

What Le Mans is to European motorsport, the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring are to American fans. Especially between 1963 and 1973, these legendary endurance races thrilled millions of spectators with ever-increasing speeds and breakneck action. This was made possible by the inexhaustible innovation of car manufacturers and the technological advancements that repeatedly revolutionized racing.

This golden era was captured by award-winning American photographer Al Satterwhite. With "The Racers," he presents an unparalleled album that shows far more than just pictures of cars and famous racing drivers. Presented entirely in black and white and in an exceptional scrapbook style, you'll experience the most breathtaking moments on and off the track so closely and with such excitement, it's as if you were there in person.

• Always close to the action: Thrilling racing action and impressive driver portraits of endurance racing legends like Phil Hill, Carroll Shelby, and Steve McQueen
• Photos of all the legendary racing cars of the 1963–1973 era from Ferrari, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, and more
• With a foreword by Brian Redman, former Formula 1 driver and winner of Daytona and Sebring

A golden era in black and white: motor racing at its limit.

There was something special about classic motorsport in the 60s and 70s. Never again did cars change so rapidly and so dramatically. Satterwhite's photographs capture the most important moments of the most exciting races of that era so skillfully that you can almost hear the roar of the old cars and feel the track dust on your skin. From unusual angles and with a focus on drivers and crew, he's always close to the action, even in the pit lane and off the track.

The perfect gift for all motorsport fans!
