Legends of motorsport: the endurance races at Daytona and Sebring

What Le Mans is to European motorsport, the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring are to US fans. Between 1963 and 1973 in particular, the legendary endurance races thrilled millions of spectators with ever-increasing speeds and breakneck action. This was made possible by the never-ending ideas of car manufacturers and the technical progress that revolutionised racing time and time again.

This golden era has been captured by award-winning American photographer Al Satterwhite. With ‘The Racers’, he presents an unrivalled album that shows far more than just pictures of cars and famous racing drivers. Completely in black and white and designed in an extraordinary scrapbook look, you will experience the most breathtaking moments on and off the track as close and full of excitement as if you had been there live.

• Always close to the action: Thrilling racing action and impressive driver portraits of endurance racing legends such as Phil Hill, Carroll Shelby and Steve McQueen
• Photos of all the legendary racing cars of the 1963-1973 era from Ferrari, Porsche, Alfa Romeo and more
• With a foreword by Brian Redman, former Formula 1 driver and winner of Daytona and Sebring

A golden era in black and white: car racing at the limit

There was something special about classic racing in the 60s and 70s. Never again did cars change as quickly and as much as at that time. Satterwhite's photos capture the most important moments of the most exciting car races of the time so skilfully that you can almost hear the roar of the old cars and feel the track dust on your skin. From unusual angles and focussing on the drivers and crew, he is always up close, even in the pit lane and away from the asphalt.

The perfect gift for all motorsport fans!
