The Last Road Race : 9780753818510 : 03 Mar 2005 : Today Grand Prix motor racing is dominated by big name, big brand winners. But it wasn't always so. Once a sport in which individual skills and daring were paramount, it produced heroes whose names are still legendary. The 1957 Pescara Grand Prix marked the end of this era in motor racing. Sixteen cars and drivers - including Stirling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio and Jack Brabham - raced over public roads on the Adriatic coast in a three-hour race of frightening speed and constant danger. In The Last Road Race, Richard Williams brings this pivotal race back to life.
