:: Taps into growing nostalgia for the classic days of accessible GP racing.

This is the story of a Grand Prix formula often overlooked, due to the perception that the cars were underpowered and hence unspectacular. This racing formula saw the

career of Stirling Moss come to a premature end, but -- in his absence -- the rise to prominence of a new breed of British drivers in Jim Clark, Graham Hill and John Surtees. The book paints a complete picture of 1.5-litre F1 and the 21 marques and 101 drivers which took part in one or more Grands Prix between 1961 and 1965.

Mark Whitelock's enthusiasm for motor sport was first sparked when his father took him to Goodwood in 1957. His knowledge of the sport grew over the 1960s, giving him a

special affinity with the 1.5-litre Formula 1. By the early 1990s, he had become disillusioned with contemporary Grand Prix racing and turned his attention to historic racing. He retired from a career in banking in 1999, and began writing for pleasure.
