Racing for Mercedes-Benz: A Dictionary of the 240 Fastest Drivers of the Marque
From the vast number of drivers who have competed for Mercedes-Benz and its ancestors in the past 115 years, legends such as Hermann Lang, Karl Kling, Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher stand out. However, history should not forget all those other works drivers and privateers whose exploits added to the fame of the company at the wheel of formula, sports racing and touring cars; drivers whose names have often unjustly faded from view. Famous or obscure, the 240 fastest of these drivers are presented in this volume, which has been compiled in close co-operation with Mercedes-Benz Classic. This book is the who's who of the four-wheel sport.
Rally Giants: Toyota Celica GT-Four
This is a comprehensive study of the career of the Toyota Celica GT-Four. Starting in 1988, three generations of this effective turbocharged four-wheel-drive car -- known by enthusiasts as ST165, ST185 and ST205 types -- fought for World Championships, and were amazingly successful for almost a decade.
All types combined high-performance, great reliability, and superb preparation by Toyota Team Europe (based in Cologne, Germany), their 300bhp/four-wheel-drive chassis package being among the best in the world. Over the years, the cars won some of the roughest events in the world (such as the Safari and the Acropolis), and were also supreme on tarmac, snow and ice, including Monte Carlo.
After fighting a running battle with Lancia for years, the Celicas won the World Manufacturers' Championship twice. Its famous drivers included Carlos Sainz (World Champion in 1990 and 1992), Juha Kankkunen (Champion in 1993) and Didier Auriol (Champion in 1994).
Never far from controversy, and at times embroiled in technical and regulatory disputes, these cars brought real glamour to the colourful sport of rallying, and were only replaced by an even higher-tech Toyota -- the Corolla World Rally Car -- in 1997.

Return to Glory!: The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Racing Car
1952 was one of the most important years in Mercedes-Benz racing history; after a 13-year absence, it returned to motor sport competition with an automobile that rewrote the history of modern sports car racing. The 300 SL's debut was the culmination of a long, difficult road back to racing for Mercedes-Benz. Return to Glory! vividly depicts the 300 SL's performance in the five races in which it competed in 1952, and tells the story of how it became the most successful competition sports car of that year. Through dramatic photographs and equally stirring text, one of the greatest years of sports car racing is brought to life--a year filled with automobiles finished in national racing colors, prepared by great factory teams, driven by men who were national sporting idols, and raced under gruelling conditions unique to the age. From its Mille Miglia debut, through the Nürburgring, the Le Mans 24 Hours, to its greatest race - the Carrera Panamericana, the 300 SL's career from conception to retirement is presented, culminating with a detailed photographic essay illustrating restoration of the oldest 300 SL in existence.

Road & Track Ferrari F355-360-F430 Portfolio: 1995-2006
Ferrari, the very sound of the name conjures up mental images of exciting and stylish sports cars being driven at great speed - add in the fabulous sound of the V8's exhaust and you are very close to motoring nirvana. With the arrival of the F355 - a descendant from the marvelous little Dino 246 - Ferrari was raising the stakes considerably in their quest for supremacy in their chosen market niche and sales of the F355 and its replacement, the 360 have risen dramatically. Not entirely coincidentally with this rise in popularity of the sports car side of the business has been Ferrari's dominance in the Formula One arena. With these mid-engine sports coupes Ferrari has also embraced new technology with electronic engine management, F1-style paddle shifts on the steering wheel, together with high-technology aluminum frame construction of the chassis all helping to give a storming performance that buyers of these sports car demand.
