{"product_id":"9781845847968","title":"Motor Racing Heroes: The Stories of 100 Greats","description":"Covering almost 100 years of motor racing history, humanity, not simple statistics, is revealed here as the true source of the subjects’ heroism. Take André Boillot; so tired at the end of the 1919 Targa Florio, he made a silly mistake, spinning his car backwards across the finish line – yet he still won. Or Grand Prix winners Robert Benoist, William Grover Williams and Jean-Pierre Wimille, all of whom became French resistance fighters during WWII. There’s David Purley’s valiant attempt at rescuing a trapped Roger Williamson by overturning Willamson’s blazing march with his bare hands during the 1973 Grand Prix of Holland. And Alessandro Zanardi, who lost both his legs in a CART accident, yet still came back to win races.\u003cbr\u003eThe lighter side of motor sport is also here, with Giannino Marzotto, who won the 1950 Mille Miglia wearing an immaculate double-breasted suit. Or Giovanni Bracco, who won the 1952 Mille Miglia as he swigged from a bottle of red wine!\u003cbr\u003eThere are so many heroes and heroines in this sport. This book is about 100 of them.","brand":"Veloce Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137170620656,"sku":"9781845847968","price":13.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845847968_p0.jpg?v=1769893509","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845847968","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
