This book, the second in Peter Higham’s series, covers the 1970s, when Formula 1 gained big new sponsors and grew into a television spectacle, with battles between Ferrari and Cosworth-powered opposition a continuing theme.

As well as the championship winning teams — Lotus, Ferrari, McLaren and Tyrrell — this was a period when small outfits — names such as Connew, Token, Maki and Lyncar — participated in significant numbers and they are all included too. This book will be treasured by all Formula 1 enthusiasts.
