[After Wyss obtained “Real Racers: Formula 1 Racing in the 1950s and 1960s: A Driver’s Perspective” for review, he thought it so good the Editor ended up ordering another copy for self. The following conversation about the book then became the review. Right up front we can say that we both think it’s a great book and an even better deal at only $40, plus the 30% MBI is offering with the special code you will find at the end of this review brings it down to $28 plus shipping for a limited time—Ed.]
Wyss: Those who see the title “Real Racers” might be put off if they are not Formula I fans, as it automatically implies that only these racers, out of all the types of drivers, were the “real racers.”
