Reading Material & Media

The best way to gain knowledge is by reading. To increase my knowledge around the world of cars and motor sport I have been making my way through books. Below is my library so far and thoughts on the titles.

Ferrari 70 years By Dennis Adler

Fantastic books and provides a very light overview of 70 years of Ferrari's history. Looking at the cars and the relationship with Chinetti.

Ferrari 6th Edition By Hans Tanner

Compared to Ferrari 70 years, this book dives deep in to Ferrari's History. Regrettably Hans himself wasn't able to complete to book but still worth the read!

Maserati - The Citroen Years By Marc Sonnery

Featured on the front cover and two additional edits inside the book, I have yet to read this one. Skimming over the book though it is a well versed and deeply covers the topic.

The Deal Maker By Tom Hartley

This book shares and insight in to Tom Jnr (now Snr) life and how he became the dealer we know today. More focusing on Tom and his business rather than car fact.

Lamborghini Urraco By Arnstein Landem

Featured in this book, I have yet to read this one. Skimming over the book though it is a well versed and deeply covers the topic.

Niki Lauder By Maurice Hamilton

Niki was an impressive character and this book really portrays his life before, during and after racing. Even you are not an F1 you need to listen to what he achieved despite adversity.

The Carroll Shelby Story By Carroll Shelby

Le mans racer and part reason for Ford's victory over Ferrari in '66 this book covers the majority of Carroll's living career regrettably not finished before his death. Provides some great anecdotes but does drift off on sales brochure detail.

Diddly Squat By Jeremy Clarkson

Not about cars but read by Jeremy this is a great Audible book from the OG and provides more insight from the Amazon TV show.

How to build a car By Adrian Newey

Not an F1 fan previously, but certainly invested now. This superbly well written book is an even look at the life and career of the legend which is Adrian Newey.
